Diarrhea is a common symptom of digestive system diseases, also known as "having the runs". It is characterized by increased frequency of bowel movements, loose stools, and increased water content. Many people have experienced diarrhea in their lives, and the common causes of diarrhea include improper diet, exposure to external pathogens, and weak spleen and stomach. Therefore, the first priority to improve diarrhea is dietary regulation.

Diarrhea is a common illness caused by improper diet. Therefore, the main treatment method is dietary regulation. The above medicated foods have the effects of regulating the spleen and stomach and aiding digestion, and can be consumed appropriately. Finally, I would like to suggest that people with diarrhea should try to avoid eating spicy food, as chili peppers can stimulate the intestines and stomach, aggravating the symptoms of diarrhea.
