Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
I think that your symptoms are caused by IBS(Irritable bowel syndrome).
Firstly you need to get rehydrated. For that you can take ORS(Oral rehydration solution).
To confirm the diagnosis you need liver function test, abdominal ultrasound, stool culture, complete blood count and urine test.
Consult your gastroenterologist.
All the best.
