Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be due to the diet taken. It may be a food allergic condition, or it may be dyspepsia, it is the self-limiting condition, and no need to worry about this but dehydration would be a matter of concern. If the symptoms long last then you can try probiotic along with tab Metronidazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
