Hi Sir! I would like to know if cucumber is good to eat during loose motion. A family member of mine is having loose motion for the past two days. I have advised him to eat cucumber. Is is alright dr. or should I stop him from eating it. Plz advise.
**1. In diarrhea/loose motion one tend to  loose lots of water from his/her body, so whatever that contain water is good. [Cucumber contain water.]2. but taking them now and then, can/may lead to gas problem [being rich in cellulose make them indigestible] with resulting bloating and loose stool [so avoid in excess]3.  maintain good hydration: ORS [oral re hydration salt] is important part of treatment.. avoid fruit juice,wheat products, coffee, milk, raw vegetables/fruits, spicy/fried food. liquid diet or plenty of fluids are essential: electrolyte solution, coconut water, daal water, mashed banana, dry toast without butter, rice, cooked veegtables
