  • That's right.  I remember from when my kids were young, the BRAT diet for diarrhea... bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.

  • Another  use for rice is to stop diarrhea.  You prepare it as usual (boil together 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water and condiment with salt) but without washing the starch that covers it and you can eat it just white with a little salt, or add when cooking some turmeric. I love putting rice in chicken broth when I'm not feeling good and drink a big bowl of it.

    When babies have diarrhea, the rice is cooked as I sayd before (no turmeric) but with a lot of water.  You should not let all the water evaporate.  Then collect the water and let it cool. Give it to the baby to drink, or use it to make his formula.
