A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
You may have heard of the BRAT diet. Bananas, the B in BRAT, are a good food source of nutrients when severe diarrhea is a problem. Rice, applesauce and toast make up the rest of the acronym.

"Save your very ripe bananas in the freezer until you're ready to make this recipe. Thaw and mash, using all the liquid." -Patty N.
