Addition diet may help firm loose stools gradually
Dear Doctor explains that chronic inflammation tests are negative and suggests dietary changes as the main factor. The digestion overview notes saliva, stomach acids, pancreatic and liver juices transform food into a liquid slurry for absorption, with stool forming in the large intestine.
Managing Loose Stools Through Diet and Observation
Medical guidance explains that the large intestine absorbs water, forming stool and that loose stools often stem from excess water not removed. Sugars and sugar alcohols in prunes, apples, peaches, pears, pineapples, asparagus, lettuce, strawberries, wine, beer, milk, and artificial sweeteners can trigger laxative effects, along with caffeine, fried foods, fatty meats, and MSG. An elimination or addition diet approach is suggested, starting with lean meats and vegetables, keeping a food diary, and expanding gradually to identify personal culprits. Eve Glazier and Elizabeth Ko of UCLA Health are cited.
