Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.
You probably have a stomach bug.
A stool analysis may be done to confirm it.
Take yogurt and probiotic supplements.
Drink enough fluids to remain well hydrated.
Adequate urine output and a moist tongue are indicators of good hydration.
If your urine output is reduced and tongue is dry, drink electrolyte solution like equalyte.
I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar Kini

Hi,
The diet you take looks pretty good for an individual with loose stool.
You can continue taking that.
Yes add yogurt also. It helps in faster recovery.
As mentioned earlier, if your urine output is less and your tongue is dry, take electrolyte solution like equalyte in sips.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
