I’ve always had poor digestion, and recently I haven’t eaten anything particularly unhealthy. Yet over the past two days, I’ve had persistent diarrhea. I’d like to ask: Are there any fruits that can help regulate or alleviate diarrhea?

Hello, When experiencing diarrhea, you may consume mild fruits such as apples, peaches, lychees, and pomegranates. These fruits are rich in vitamins and trace elements, helping to replenish nutrients lost during diarrhea. In addition to fruits, you may also eat bland, easily digestible foods such as rice porridge or egg drop soup. If diarrhea is severe, consult a physician for appropriate anti-diarrheal medication. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
