Hi
Thankyou for posting in XXXXXXX
The diarrhoea is due to infection of gut to ingestion of contaminated food or water.
In standing position,the collected liquid stool will come down.While moving, the peristalisis will occur and also push the stools down.
I Prescribe Antibiotics Rifaximine and Metronidazole, Capsule Pre and probiotic to my patients with similar complaints.
It will come down.
Nothing to worry.
Hope i answered your query.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery.
Regards
