Hi,

I can understand your concern.

Green colored loose motions most probably denote possibility of bacterial infection.

You are taking enteroquinol which is for amebiasis, it wont help in bacterial infection.

I will advise you
1) To take appropriate antibiotic with antacids after consultation with your doctor.
2) Take plenty of water with electrolytes to maintain adequate hydration.
3) Keep eating bland liquid to soft diet as you are taking.
4) Avoid spicy, oily food.
5) Bulk forming food like banana may help.
6) If loose motions are severe with vomiting there may be chance of development of severe dehydration in that case there may be need for intravenous antibiotics and fluids for rehydration.

Depending up on your clinical examination and severity of symptoms there may be need for blood tests like CBC, Kidney & Liver function test, urine, stool examination and if required ultrasound of abdomen.

Hope this may help you, if so do vote.
