The salad with chicken and whole wheat crackers provide fiber and protein, which can help regulate bowel movements and prevent diarrhea. Yogurt may also be a good choice if it contains probiotics to promote gut health, but sweet tea and crackers alone may not provide enough nutrients. The bacon, tomato, lettuce with mayonnaise and the tuna on white bread do not contain enough fiber and may worsen diarrhea, while the soft drink lacks nutritional value.
