Don’t Let Diarrhea Ruin Your Day! Here Are 3 Easy Foods That Can Help You Fight It

By Kristina Andita Pradani -

Diarrhea is one of the most common sicknesses that happen to travellers, and it's pretty annoying when you got it! Specially when your schedule were super tight.

It may seem harmless, but diarrhea can be surprisingly dangerous and disruptive to your daily routine. It can affect anyone, anytime, and is often caused by everyday things like eating unhygienic food and consuming too much spicy or acidic food.

But don’t worry diarrhea isn’t unbeatable! According to recommendations from Siloam Hospital and Healthline, you can fight back by eating these 3 simple, tummy-friendly foods:

1. Rice Porridge



When dealing with diarrhea, it’s best to avoid high-fiber foods that may produce excess gas in your stomach. Instead, go for soft, easily digestible, low-fiber options like rice porridge or plain white rice. Their smooth texture is gentle on your digestive system and helps your tummy heal faster.


2. Boiled Eggs



Eggs are everywhere, affordable, versatile, and packed with protein. What you might not know is that eggs can help slow down bowel movements during a bout of diarrhea! Siloam Hospital recommends eating them boiled, which keeps their protein structure intact and prevents unnecessary gas buildup in the stomach.



3. Bananas


Yes, bananas are your best friend when you’re down with diarrhea! They’re rich in potassium and contain pectin, a soluble fiber that helps absorb excess water in your intestines. Plus, bananas are naturally sweet and loaded with energy-giving carbs and sugars, perfect to keep you going while you recover. 



Warm Regards,

Your travel bestie 🩵
