1 The essence of the problem

Diarrhea is a small disorder of the stomach, in which the main symptomatology is the abdominal incisions and the diluted stool. This is a temporary phenomenon, the possible cause of which is the use of substandard or spoiled products, bacteria that enter the stomach from unwashed hands. Diarrhea lasts no more than a day, not delivering especially negative sensations. With this form of intestinal disorder, it is recommended to limit the consumption of food, drink more liquid.

Banana, being one of the most neutral fruits, will not become a healing remedy, but is allowed to eatwithout fanaticism.1-2 bananas, eaten along with crackers, lean and low-fat broth, boiled rice, crackers and boiled potatoes, allowed for mild intestinal disorders, diversify the menu and will not harm.

2 Features and Dangers of the Disease

The terms diarrhea and diarrhea are often used in popular articles as synonyms, but this is not entirely true. In clinical practice, acute and chronic diarrhea is distinguished. Acute is most often caused by intestinal infections, drugs that have side effects, inflammation of the intestines. Chronic often provoke a variety of pathologies, and to determine the causes of a thorough and thorough examination of the body. Symptoms of diarrhea are frequent short stool, stool with fetid odor, sometimes pus or spotting, dehydration of the body, deterioration of the skin, fever, bloating, pain, nausea, vomiting.

For reasons that caused disorganization of the digestive system, diarrhea is divided into:

• infectious( dysentery, salmonella, enterovirus infections, amebiasis, E. coli and many others);
• alimentary( with a diet violation in chronic patients);
• dyspeptic( in disorders of the functions of the digestive system);
• allergic( caused by the use of products of individual intolerance);
• is neurogenic( if there is a violation of the nervous motor function);
• is psychoemotional( with serious experiences or stresses);
• medication( with long-term use of medicines);
• toxic( poisoning).

It would be somewhat naive to expect that such serious pathologies requiring medical intervention at a professional level and long enough treatment can be healed by eating even 3 bananas every 2 hours.

3 Evaluation from the position of a dietician

Fruits in a yellow skin like many. They have a lot of iron, magnesium, phosphorus. Three bananas, eaten during the day, are able to replenish the daily rate of potassium and give 2/3 of the daily magnesium standard. More than 3 bananas a day eaters are not advised, because the high caloric content of fruit can promote weight gain. Banana is definitely not an easily assimilated food and for some intestinal diseases, with increased blood clotting, hypotension, varicose veins, they are strictly forbidden to eat. Particularly cautious nutritionists and healthy people are advised not to eat more than 2 bananas a day, and with diarrhea the exact answer is categorically not.

It is not recommended to eat bananas in the morning, on an empty stomach, wash down with water, swallow without chewing, combine with other foods. Banana is a heavy product for digestion, so it can cause a build up of gases in the stomach, which is sent to the intestines and makes it difficult to drain the bile.

If you look at the symptoms of diarrhea, which is mistaken for diarrhea, you can seriously think about the usefulness of a banana in intestinal disorders, even with a large amount of potassium and magnesium. Perhaps, with a mild disorder of the stool, a banana can help, but with a pathological disorder of bowel function, it will not have a therapeutic effect, but will only aggravate the situation. With any intestinal frustration that lasts more than a day, you should consult an infectious disease specialist, and not eat bananas with clusters.

4 Health food for diarrhea

Diarrhea is treated with a diet that depends on the cause. When diarrhea at 1 day is recommended fasting, uncomfortable crackers, a decoction of St. John's wort, black tea, low-fat broth, a little boiled fish, chicken meat. Over the next 2-3 days - abundant drink, protein, neutral products in the form of low-fat boiled meat, unsweetened rice porridge, simple foods, dishes without spices, additives, culinary delights. Bananas, relatively recently introduced into the daily diet, are not among the recommended for intestinal disorders.
