Although experts do not think food causes the condition, they suggest dietary changes to manage these symptoms. For example, they may suggest cutting down on fatty or spicy foods because they might aggravate the diarrhea. Changes involve incorporating low-fat and low-fiber foods that are easy to digest, at least until your symptoms resolve.
