what to feed: still diarrhea out the wazoo

[Guest guest]

i thought that giving my mom solid food today was pushing it, but i

got overruled. after an explosion containing kiwi seeds (the kiwi was

from tues AM), my father now agrees w/me.

so, we're feeding her the hot carob drink, stocks, and bananas.

any other suggestions?

maybe WFN's coconut milk and/or water straight, ie not smoothied or

kefired? (why not kefired? because i'm trying to rule it out. and

maybe the friendly bacteria were just too much at once...? although

she never drinks more than 4oz of anything at a time.)

i'm leaning towards the water over the milk, due to the latter's fat

content, which might make bad things stick around longer. ???

Applesauce controls diarrhea. Its the pectin released in peel cooking that

does it, llRC.

glad you're back, wanita.

> Applesauce controls diarrhea.<

yes. when i was in the throes of IBS, my mother told me about BRAT:

bananas, rice (ha!...although i'm thinking that the rice might have

been just an innocent bystander), applesauce, and toast. and i had my

father pick up some apples so i could make some sauce...but...

< Its the pectin released in peel cooking that does it, llRC. >

i just recently read that it was the pectin, but i didn't know that

it had to be released by cooking ;o( i guess that i can make up 2

batches: one cooked, the other not.

thanks--
