Brief Answer:
The possible causes narrated below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Siddhesh,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
There are three possibilities...
-After getting relief from infective diarrhea...you ate Burfi & cake..both were non spicy, but both were heavy to digest for healing bowels from recent diarrhea.You should have avoided spicy&heavy food( refined flour-maida & condensed milk product -khova)..which had triggered relapse of infection you had before).
After diarrhea we should take light food..like boiled rice, sago pudding with little milk, black or light tea or coffee,butter milk,lemon water &sufficient clean water )..for few days .This helps recovery of digestive process...
-Another possibility of food allergies giving loose motions...Lactose or Gluten intollerance (maida..a wheat product has gluten& condensed milk is lactose containing) needs to be excluded,if you get recurrent loose motions .
- I feel the Ayurvedic medicines which did not cause loose motions in last two months are less likely to cause it(unless doctor had changed /added some medicine recently)
* Self care consists of -
-Have light food &enzyme supplements for full recovery from diarrhea...
-Check with Ayurvedic doctor if there is recent change in medication given.
-Get your stools examined to find/exclude bacterial ,Amoebic (alternate diarrhea&constipation suggests it), worm or viral infection infections/food allergies,in case you have repeat loose bowels.
* I would advise to consult a gastroenterologist for recurrent loose motions.
*Timely diagnosis&specific management advised by expert would avoid Chronic diarrhea.
I hope that helps. Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.

Hi Siddhesh,
Thanks for the follow up query..
It's good that you are feeling better now..
These days you can follow following general tips I am giving for avoiding any type of bowel problems)along with cause specific medications to cure the problem once for all.
Unless the cause of diarrhea is confirmed I am unable to suggest any specific preventive major...except for few general tips to help normal digestion &few life style changes to avoid diarrhea on an average ...they are
-You should eat light& fresh nourishing food moderate servings(avoid less or over eating).No spices,no refined food ,oily or left over food, Avoid eating out/at unknown food points.
- Drink sufficient boiled water(10 to 12 glasses in a day)
-Have habit of good hand wash frequently & before /after eating..this helps in self infection in case of Amoebic or worm infestations
-Have a regular exercise schedule daily.
-Avoid food you are found to be allergic to.
-Replavement of normal intestinal flora( lost during loose motions..).helps bowel health. You can take Cap.Nutrolin B ,over the counter once a day to improve your digestion.
*As I have already suggested..if you get recurrence inspite of all precautions..You should consult a gastroenterologist for detailed assessment of your digestive health to be followed by specific medication advised thereafter.
I hope that answers your query. Any follow up query is welcome.
