School of Medicine, Family Medicine answered. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has symptoms that include irregularity in timing and consistency of bowel movements. There can be diarrhea, constipation or both associated with IBS. Fiber can help with these symptoms in several ways. Fiber helps to move the material through the GI tract, which helps with symptoms of constipation. Also, fiber is considered a bulking agent, which helps absorb water and decrease diarrhea.
Foods to eat to stop diarrhea also include items that are high in starch. These foods will help to bind your stools, making them more solid and stopping the diarrhea. High starch foods include items like boiled potatoes, the toast and rice mentioned above, and plain pasta. Cooked carrots also help to stop diarrhea. Hard boiled eggs are sometimes suggested as a cure for diarrhea, as has been oatmeal and warm tea, such as chamomile or mint teas. Baked chicken, with the skin and fat removed, may also help to stop loose bowel movements.
