“…Studies conducted in Turkey and in developing countries have also reported that traditional practices are used for diarrhoea management. In these studies, the most frequently used methods have been stated as giving oral rehydration salts (ORS) [ 5 , 21 , 26 , 29 , 33–35 ], giving a salt-sugar mixture to drink [ 5 , 24 , 26 , 29 , 33 ], continuing to provide breast milk/to breastfeed [ 21 , 22 , 33 , 34 ], increasing fluid intake [ 29 , 34 ], giving rice water to drink [ 29 , 33–35 ], giving a mix of coffee and lemon to drink [ 5 , 21 ], giving a mix of soda and aspirin [ 5 ], feeding mashed potatoes [ 5 , 22 ], feeding food made with rice [ 5 , 21 , 22 , 26 , 27 , 34 , 35 ], feeding dough [ 27 ], giving fruit juice to drink [ 27 ], feeding dry and solid foods [ 5 , 21 , 24 ], feeding soups/liquid foods [ 24 ], feeding bananas [ 5 , 22 , 34 , 35 ], feeding yogurt [ 21 , 29 ], feeding porridge [ 35 ], continuing to feed normal homemade foods [ 34 ], feeding curd cheese [ 26 ], trying to cure diarrhoea using homemade remedies [ 14 ] and various herbs [ 25 ], withholding breast milk [ 27 ], limiting fluid intake [ 24 , 29 ], and limiting food intake [ 25 ], and some results of such studies have been in line with the results of this study. It seems that there are some similarities and differences among traditional practices preferred for diarrhoea management.…”
