The patient should eat small, frequent meals. Foods and drinks should be taken at room temperature. Foods that can help control diarrhea include:
* bananas
* applesauce
* boiled white rice
* tapioca
* white bread
* plain pasta
* creamed cereals
* eggs
* potatoes (without skin; mashed or baked)
* fish
* chicken or turkey (without skin)
There are some medications that can slow down the movement of stool through the intestines and increase intestinal water absorption. The patient may need a combination of drugs and/or dose adjustments to achieve relief. A physician should be consulted before any over-the-counter antidiarrheal medications are taken. Anti-diarrheal medications include:
* Atropine sulfate with diphenoxylate HCl (Lomotil)
* Codeine phosphate
* Loperimide HCl (Imodium-AD)
* Octreotide phosphate (Sandostatin)
