Oatmeal, potatoes, bananas and soft, skinless fruits are rich in soluble fiber and may help with diarrhea. Sweet potatoes are an especially good soluble-fiber source, containing 2 grams per half-cup of flesh.
A high-fiber diet has many health benefits, but for some people, excessive fiber consumption can lead to diarrhea, particularly if you recently rapidly increased your intake. If you're a man, your recommended daily fiber intake is 38 grams; for women, it's 26 grams. Evaluate your diet to determine if you frequently eat high-fiber foods. Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots and sweet potatoes and fruits such as apples, oranges and berries are significant fiber sources. If you have diarrhea, temporarily decrease your intake of these foods and slowly reintroduce them to allow your body time to get used to the uptick in fiber.
