A high fibre diet may make diarrhea worse for some people.
Fibre is part of the plant that your body cannot breakdown. There are 2 kinds: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre soaks up water and slows down movement while insoluble fibre does not take in water and speeds up movement.
Aim to eat more soluble fibre such as oats, barley and bananas. Also, remove the skins, seeds and membranes from vegetables and fruit.
Talk to your doctor about the possibility of taking medications to help with diarrhea.
Be sure to include more foods that are suggested in the "Eating Hints For People with Diarrhea" handout from Princess Margaret and/or speak to a Registered Dietitian
