Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Diet while suffering or after recovery from diarrhea is to consume easily digestible semi-solid and more of liquid diet. She can add probiotics as well.
She needs to consume good quantities of water and fresh fruit juices along with oral rehydration solutuons so as to prevent dehydration.
Gradually, she can switch over to normal diet depending in her response.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
