Hello,
It could be acute gastroenteritis or food poisoning. As of now drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. ORS solution is also helpful.
If frequency of motion persists or in case of symptoms like pain or fever, you can consult a physician and get evaluated. In that case antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
