Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

If there is no fever, blood in stool or a high white count/ leucocytosis then its not an infectious diarrhea. C. diff toxin testing should be done.Stool for ova and parasite should be examined. If negative for c diff and protozoa then probiotics (enterogermina) , fiber like ispaghula husk and anti diarrheals like loperamide can be advised for a week to see for improvement.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
