Answer 1

BRAT diet..bananas, rice, applesauce, toast. little to no butter on rice or toast. pedialyte helps a lot....they have a wal-mart version that is just as good and cheaper.

Answer 2

Answer 3

do not give apples or bananas both cause more movement. more binding foods are what they need. Maybe some bread or pasta but no fruits until it stops. Give some pedialite to caution against dehydration especially if it's hot where you are at. Also there are herbal teas that are good at stopping diarhea. Go to your local herbal shop.

Answer 4

The BRAT diet is a historically prescribed treatment for patients with various forms of gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea, dyspepsia, and/or gastroenteritis. The BRAT diet consists of foods that are relatively bland, easy to digest, and low in fiber. Low-fiber foods are recommended because foods high in fiber may cause gas, possibly worsening the gastrointestinal upset.[1] Current recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics state that for most children continuing a normal, age appropriate diet is preferred. The foods from the BRAT diet may be added, but should not replace normal, tolerated foods. Sugary drinks and carbonated beverages should be avoided.

A well-balanced diet is best even during diarrhea, but studies have found that incorporating foods from the BRAT diet can reduce the severity of diarrhea (see Contrary medical advice). Applesauce provides pectin,[2] as does toast with grape jelly.

The BRAT diet should include additional protein \

BRAT is the mnemonic acronym for Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast, the staples of the diet.[1] Extensions to the BRAT diet include BRATT (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast, and Tea) and BRATY (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast, and Yogurt).

Use Pedialyte for toddlers, tea is not really a favorite.
