    Default apples and bananas for diarrhea?

    ds is on omnicef for an ear infection that persists after 4 other antibiotics did nothing. side effects include diarrhea. we have started to see a loosening of the poop, but not full blown diarrhea yet. i should mention that ds is generally not a great pooper and get's constipated very frequently.

    i have started giving him rice cereal, and bananas. usually i avoid both for obvious reasons.

    i have a couple of jars of beech nut "apples and bananas". my mil thought that apples were for constipation. but i thought applesauce was for diarrhea while apple juice was for constipation. so confusing.

    so will "apples and bananas" help, hurt or neither? tia

    Default

    Bananas
    Rice ( rice cakes work too )
    Applesauce
    Toast

    Applesauce is for diarrhea.

    Yogurt and probiotics are also a big help. Wait about an hour after giving the dose of antibiotic to do the yogurt or probiotics.

    Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you're stupid and make bad decisions
