How does pumpkin stop diarrhea?

Pumpkin and the Fiber Puzzle Soluble fiber can act like a sponge when there's excess water in the GI tract (diarrhea). Insoluble fiber does sort of the opposite, drawing water into the GI tract when the stool is dry and hard (constipation) to make a bulkier, softer stool that can pass.

Can too much pumpkin cause diarrhea?

The short answer is... yes. Plain canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling) can be used to add fiber to the diet, promote healthy stool and a healthy gut, but may cause loose stool if too much is given or if Romeo has an allergy to pumpkin. The rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight once or twice daily.

Does pumpkin harden stools?
