I read treatment also includes no feeding solid food for the first 24 to 48 hours (a liquid fast) to give the intestines a chance to rest. Make sure that plenty of pure water is available at all times and encourage drinking. There is danger of dehydration from loss of water, sodium and potassium if diarrhea is excessive. Provide these in the form of a broth made from vegetables, rice, and some meat or a bone. You also add a small amount of naturally brewed soy sauce to enhance flavor and provide easily absorbed amino acids and sodium. Offer only the liquid part of the soup and serve it several times a day during the fasting period.
