Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
You are suffering from acute gastroenteritis, most likely viral type.
Do you have (and your husband also) any fever/ abdominal bloating?
Any type of viral disease may cause loss of appetite and it will take for regaining diet.
You should consult with physician and try to maintain hydration.
You should also take antibiotic, anti spasmodic, probiotics.
You should also take oral rehydration solution.
You should avoid milk and all milk products such as cheese, butter, yogurt.
Put your query if you have.
Best regards,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
