    Try to stick to low fibre foods, white bread, white rice or pasta, minimal salad and veg. Chicken and fish are ok and cereals like corn flakes or Rice Krispies . Once things settle introduce, slowly other foods and see what the effect is. It's a long slow process. Good luck

    It is difficult because their body in many cases is starving, due to constant diarriah and bouts of pain. I would suggest soft food, something easy to digest and something they really fancy eating.. One thing to remember is that if you suck sweets all the time it will make you go to the toilet more, because the chewing sets up a reaction in the bowel.
