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.
For severe diarrhea, some health experts recommend the so-called BRAT diet, named after the first letter of each of its components: bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. While this diet doesn't contain enough nutrients for long-term sustenance, in the short term, it may help ease symptoms of diarrhea.
