It is important for you to eat foods high in potassium in order to restore the body's essential stores depleted during diarrhea, according to re-hydrate.org

Is mango good for diarrhea?

A single mango contains 323mg potassium, so you can definitely eat mangoes when you have diarrhea.

What do you think about that?
