How do I solidify loose stools?! Posts: 120. Re: How do I solidify loose stools?! Eat bananas! lots, they will raise your potassium (low potassium can give you a heart attack by the way), but bananas absorb liquid in the bowel and intestined as it travel, reducing watery stool and adding bulk to the stool. bread also can dry up stools. My son is prone to constipation so I rarely give him sandwiches for school. maybe try rye bread even, its pretty dense. otherwise a few spoonfools of cornflour in 1/4 cup of water is an old remedy for diareoh, and is something u can do every day...goodluck.

- Here's how fiber works. Fiber is a component of plants, and it passes through the intestine undigested. Fiber also absorbs a lot of water, which results in softer, bulkier stools. Fiber can help decrease the time that it takes food to pass through your colon (24 to 48 hours). When stools are soft and bulky, they can move more easily through the colon. When stools are hard and dry, they have trouble moving through–that's when you experience straining.

Strive to drink about eight full glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Start your day with two glasses right after you wake up, even before coffee.
