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.
Though effective as a base to help treat diarrhea, the BRAT diet is not a well-balanced diet. Saltine crackers, boiled potatoes, clear soups, skinless baked chicken, cooked carrots, and other somewhat bland food choices can also help while youâre still experiencing an upset stomach. 1  Some people may also try yogurt. 2  However, the lactose in yogurt can be difficult on your stomach while you have diarrhea.
