The high level of potassium in bananas helps to replace electrolytes that may be lost by severe bouts of diarrhea. Bananas are also rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that helps to absorb liquid in the intestines and thus move stool along smoothly. Bananas also contain a good amount of inulin, another soluble fiber.
A banana packs nearly 3 grams of fiber into your diet if you eat a 6-inch piece of the fruit. Most of the fiber in bananas is insoluble. This is the type of fiber that pushes out waste and makes your stools easier for you to pass. Bananas also have a small amount of soluble fiber. As soluble fiber travels through your intestines, it soaks up liquid and creates a thick sludge.
