Question
How can I manage chronic loose stools?
Answer
It is advisable to visit a regular hospital for a detailed examination to determine if there are gastrointestinal issues. Here are some suggestions:
- Adjust dietary habits - Have three meals a day at regular intervals, avoid cold exposure after meals, and consume more protein-rich foods such as bread, soy products, lean meat, fish, poultry, and eggs to supplement the nutrients lost in the body.
- Increase intake of dehydrating foods - Consume more dried vegetables and easily digestible foods that help retain moisture. You can add a small amount of foods with astringent and anti-diarrheal properties to your diet, such as black plums, tangerines, pomegranates, carrots, lentils, clams, and conch.
