Diarrhea & food intake

Hi. If I have diarrhea for about 3-5 times between 3 hours and feel hungry after the diarrhea ends, can I eat something if my next meal is more than 3 hours apart? Thank you.

    Why do you have diarrhea? This is most important and are you making sure you have a LOT of fluids to replace it? Is this a common problem?

    Eat if you're hungry! Why would it need to be three hours apart?

    If you have diarrhea, the least of your worries is what time you are eating....fuel your body. Everything is going in, through and out anyway, you'll be ok adding in a snack.

    I would eat if you are hungry, something easy on your system (not too spicy, etc.)

    Eat at whatever time you want. Just stay within your calorie goal. I consume the majority of my food in the evenings before bed. That is when I'm most hungry. Eat when you're hungry, just keep your numbers in check.
