Re: intro diet, brisk diarrhea

[Guest guest]

Debora,

Because you have already done the intro diet for 5 days and because you have

such limited

food choices, you might want to consider adding in applesauce and very ripe

bananas.

These are foods that are known for helping diarrhea plus they would be in the

very next

stage of the diet anyway.

I made the applesauce by peeling, coring, and cutting up eight apples, added 2/3

c. water,

and cooked until soft. Very easy to make and no sweetener needed!

Also, peppermint tea is known to calm the bowels. My edition of BTVC says that

weak tea

is allowed.

Hope this helps.
