traveler's diarrhea - what do you eat?

[Anonymous]

What are your go-to restaurant or grocery foods (only access to a mini fridge and small microwave) when you are traveling and get diarrhea? After you're through the worst of it, but if you're still feeling a little hesitant.

Banana
Bread
Rice

Restaurant - the least oily thing on the menu. Usually a salad with a good amount of fiber. Minimize dairy.

Grocery - fresh fruit especially berries and bananas, oats and healthy yogurts, rice cakes + peanut butter

If you have access to a grocery store, just buy some Imodium.

I don’t eat anything with fiber when I have diarrhea. So basically a BRAT diet or as close to that as possible. No dairy. It’s hard because normally I eat lots of fruit and veggies and a decent amount of dairy but my stomach just can’t handle that stuff when it’s already upset.

Aren’t you supposed to let diarrhea run its course?

I get the opposite problem when I travel

lol, no.

If you are concerned about GI upset while traveling, don’t eat salad at all.

No? At least I’ve never heard that.

Google best health food restaurants near me. Look for the ones that are hardcore hippish, lots of whole grain, kombucha, fermented food, meal bowls, etc. I started doing this years ago. Really works.

Definitely no salad! Beyond BRAT, I stick with chicken breast or white fish, avocado, eggs and cooked veggies.

No dairy, caffeine, alcohol or fried foods

When I travel I never eat salads or raw vegetables or have them on my plate. No ice either. No raw fish unless in Japan.

Pasta and crackers.

It depends. Are you traveling abroad or domestically? I never eat street food when I travel abroad because that’s what triggers my td. I will only eat at reputable restaurants. And that’s still a gamble because you just never know.

But if I’m traveling, domestically, I have the opposite issue and then I just increase my intake of fiber. I will drink a green smoothie or anything with probiotics to try and keep me regular.
