Hi
get a stool routine and microscopy done , in case if stool routine and microscopy in shows infection , get a stool culture and sensitivity done.
Dumping syndrome or irritable bowel syndrome can be the most likely diagnosis .
I would like you to take loperamide 4mg stat followed by recicadotril 100mg thrice daily till watery stools stop .
Psyllium seed husks can be taken twice daily to make stols thick
oral rehydration solution should be taken with every watery stool.
