Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
I understand your concerns. It can be due to a gastrointestinal infection.
The dark urine is because of dehydration.
Some advises that I can give to you are:
1) Try over-the-counter options like Imodium.
2) Take probiotics.
3) Take frequent, small sips of water or a rehydration drink and small bites of salty crackers.
4) Begin eating mild foods the next day or sooner, depending on how you feel.
Hope that clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.
Take care
