Roger Zoul said:Why would any of these things cure diarrhea?
Starchy foods are binding. Fat and fiber foods are laxative. So
Rosie's suggestion made a lot of sense to add burger to encourage the
dog to eat the rice while limiting the fat. I'd add the suggestion
that it should be polished white rice, not whole grain, to limit the
fiber.

Diarrhea can be life-threatening due to electrolyte loss; it's one of
the most common causes of death in infants worldwide.
I don't know if it's as critical in dogs, but even if not, a dog left
home while you're at work isn't going to be able to let himself out if
his need becomes critical. I doubt most people would want to wait it
out.
