What to eat/drink to help with chronic diarrhea nutrient loss? https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

What to eat/drink to help with chronic diarrhea nutrient loss? My mother has chronic diarrhea, and she recently had to go to the hospital for very low potassium. She doesn't eat healthy at all, but this is in part because there are only a very few amount of foods she can eat that do not make her diarrhea worse, and these foods are not nutrient rich, so she is having bad deficiencies. I don't see a way to win here... She is basically living on buttered toast, turkey/ham/tuna sandwiches, mashed potatoes, pretzels (rarely), bananas, apples (rarely), roasted chicken/beef, chicken noodle soup/saltines, scrambled eggs, and Gatorade/water. But this obviously isn't cutting it in terms of nutrients. We also find that Pedialyte makes her diarrhea noticeably worse. What else should we be giving her?
