Hi..

Well, loose motions along can be due to causes like viral gastroenteritis, food poisoning, parasitic infestation,food intolerance, excess intake of tea and coffee,electrolyte imbalance etc..

Buttermilk generally does not cause diarrhea..

As of now you should start taking anti diarrhea medication like Loperaminde, take fluid replacement therapy that is drink plenty of oral rehydration salts by dissolving in water and take more of banana, yoghurt, rice and cereals..

In case of no resolution in next 3 to 4 days consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests and stool culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised antibiotics, Albendazole etc depending upon the cause diagnosed..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
