6. White Rice
Plain white rice is among the bland foods recommended to eat during diarrhea because it is easy to digest. In addition, it can help decrease the amount of stools by adding bulk to the stools.
Eat small amounts of plain white rice (without any added sauces and spices). Gradually increase the amount of rice as your diarrhea improves.
7. Clear Fluids
Diarrhea can cause your body to become dehydrated. Drink at least eight glasses of water along with coconut water, clear broths, vegetable soups, and clear sodas (without caffeine) when suffering from diarrhea. You can also drink sports drinks that do not contain caffeine.
Stay away from caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. Also, avoid acidic drinks such as tomato juice and citrus juices.
8. Bananas
When dealing with diarrhea, it is recommended to eat ripe bananas because of their high pectin content.

Eat a few ripe bananas a day until your diarrhea subsides.
