Brief Answer:
Enteritis most likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
I am a Gastroentrrologist andwould be answering your query.
Most likely you are 5sugfering from Gastroenteritis.It is caused due to viral or bacterial infection.As it is recurrent in your case intially a stool test should be done to see which bacteria is involved.
For controlling loose stool loperamide should be taken 4 mg twice daily.
For decreasing frequency of stools antispasmodics like Dicyclomine should be taken twice daily.
A short term course of antibiotic and antiprotozoal like Ciprofloxacin and Tinidazole should be taken.
Take a probiotic daily.
Drink lots of water or if possible elecyrolyte solution.
Loose motion means that food is not properly digested and absorbed by body.When nutrients would be lost in stools body will lose weight.

Just sent via email thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Have seen your pictures.
The stool is un-formed and yes the darker part consists of improperly digested food. It's likely due to gastroenteritis only. Just follow whatever I've suggested previously you would be fine in 3-4 days only.
Thanks!
