Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe diarrhea. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food intolerance , food allergy, bacterial or viral infection, parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease. It could be due to poor digestion, improper metabolism and due to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide. You should avoid intake of outside of food. You should take banana daily. For now eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
