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.

Low-fiber vegetables, including green beans, carrots, baked potatoes, peeled zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus tips and acorn squash are additional stool-binding foods, notes MedlinePlus.
