Pears are a rich source of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber may be beneficial for slowing the passage of food through the digestive tract, potentially aiding in diarrhea relief.

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is a great source of protein. Protein needs may be elevated while undergoing cancer treatment.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids as well as soluble fiber. Soluble fiber may be beneficial for preventing diarrhea.
