Summary. Rote memorization has its place in learning, but the distinction between rote learning and meaningful learning is important. The goal of teaching is for students to understand the material they're being asked to learn, not simply to memorize it to pass a test.
Avoid milk products, caffeine, alcohol, and apple and pear juices, because they may worsen diarrhea. Soft, bland foods are recommended as well, including bananas, plain rice, toast, crackers, boiled potatoes, smooth peanut butter, cottage cheese, noodles and applesauce.
Bananas may help alleviate diarrhea and associated symptoms. Bananas are a binding food, which means they help increase the form of the stool and help it to pass more slowly through the intestines. Bananas are also rich in potassium, a vital nutrient often depleted during bouts with diarrhea and vomiting.
