Abstract
Diarrhea is the second leading cause of mortality. Diarrhea and malnutrition form a vicious cycle culminating in faltering growth, compromised gut immunity, delayed catch-up growth, and cognitive impairment. The physiological events associated with Diarrhea eventually warrant specific nutritional interventions beyond rehydration. The World Health Organization guidelines for selecting appropriate foods suggest using staples such as rice, which can be easily digested. This review outlines the role and benefits of a rice-based diet during and beyond diarrhea. In addition, we also highlight the importance of fortified rice-based cereals in reducing the risk of micronutrient deficiencies during the critical period of complementary feeding.
