This menu choice includes foods that are less likely to cause diarrhea such as chicken and whole wheat crackers. Salad is also a good choice as it is high in fiber which can help regulate bowel movements. The other options such as sweet tea, bacon, mayonnaise, and soft drinks are more likely to worsen diarrhea.
