Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your husband have symptoms of diarrhea which seems to be due to electrolyte imbalance in body leading to acute gastroenteritis and food poisoning. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Start with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.

- Get intravenous fluid administration.

- Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself.

- Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food.

- You should avoid taking dairy products in excess.

- You can take banana on daily basis and light food.

I would suggest you to visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment after prescription. Doctor may start with course of proton pump inhibitors.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
