Replacing lost fluids is essential to treating diarrhea. Losing too many fluids and nutrients through diarrhea puts you at risk for dehydration. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily to stay hydrated.
Eating bland, easy-to-digest foods and drinking electrolytes can relieve diarrhea. Foods like crackers, chicken broth and toast are excellent food options while suffering from symptoms of diarrhea.
