Hi,
There is possibility of intestinal infection in your case (enteritis).
I want to know -
1) Any associated fever, abdominal pain, vomiting.
2) Have you eaten outside food, raw food, stale food.
3) What is the frequency of passing motion.
4) Is there is associated mucous or blood in stool.

I will advise you to avoid dehydration which is usually associated with large volume loose motions.
For that -
You shoul eat bland diet, avoid spicy, oily, fatty food.
You should drink adequate water with added electrolytes and glucose.
If started having nausea or vomiting which prevents oral intake, you can try antacid and antiemetic medicines.
If still the vomiting and loose motions persist then consult your doctor immediately, there might be need for intravenous rehydration and antibiotics.
I find this answer helpful
