Suggest Diet To Manage Diarrhea Caused By Anti Inflammatory Medication

Hi! My boyfriend was in the ER due to swelling on the top of his foot and extreme pain. The Docs did an ultrasound from his hip to his toes. But he has not gotten the results from that yet. I assume they are checking for a blood clot. Along with a few other things. They said it is not Gout or a stress fracture. In the meantime they they prescribed to him, Indomethacin and cephalexin. An anti-inflammatory and Norco for pain. After taking these medications, he has developed a severe case of diarrhea. What food, other than the BRAT diet.
