Changes in diet can help treat diarrhea

Sometimes making changes in your diet will help bring mild diarrhea under control. If your health care provider recommends dietary changes, discuss specific recommendations that are best for you. It's very important to maintain good nourishment even with diarrhea, for your overall health and strength, so it's essential that you eat food and drink liquids that are both nourishing and soothing. Many health care facilities that treat people with cancer have registered dieticians on staff; ask your health care team to consult with these individuals about your diet.
