Yes, you can eat an apple, but it is best to peel and cook it first (like applesauce). Raw apples with skin contain insoluble fiber that can irritate your bowel, whereas cooked, peeled apples contain pectin, which helps firm up your stool. To treat diarrhea, the most crucial step is staying hydrated using Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS). For symptom relief, generic medications like Loperamide can help reduce bowel frequency, and probiotics can restore healthy gut bacteria. Rest your stomach by eating bland foods like rice or bananas. If your symptoms last over 48 hours, or if you develop a fever, please consult a doctor.
