Brief Answer:
Food poisoning - self limiting

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
I'm Dr. Shuba Hariprasad and will be answering your query today.

Your symptoms indicate food poisoning /gastroenteritis. Loss of appetite and nausea is commonly associated with this and can last for a few days.
As your diarrhea has stopped, I believe this is self limiting and doesn't need any antibiotics.
Have bland, light food. Keep sipping cool water throughout the day. Avoid caffeine, sugary, carbonated drinks and spicy food.

You should feel better in about 3 days.
If you continue to have more than 2 episodes of diarrhea, vomiting or develop stomach pain, fever, please see a doctor to rule out more severe infection or an obstructed colon

Sniff on a slice of lemon to help with the nausea.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Wish you good health
Regards,
Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
