Then, you can slowly add bland foods to your diet. Some bland foods include bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast â otherwise known as the BRAT diet. Crackers and mashed potatoes (minus the butter) are also safe. If your diarrhea lasts more than a few days, you might want to investigate the foods you are eating, as some can irritate your bowel and make diarrhea worse. These include foods high in fiber (bran, whole grains, brown rice) as well as greasy or excessively sweet foods.
