During acute episodes, temporary fasting may sometimes be necessary; meals should be small in portion, light, soft, easily digestible, and low in fiber and fat. Once the diarrhea has subsided, it is advisable to consume foods such as egg custard, ground meat, pureed vegetables, and soft rice. Avoid greasy, heavy, coarse, hard, or cold foods that are difficult to digest.
