It is common to have some amount of diarrhea after gastrografin X-ray. It will present, till XXXXXXX completely comes out.
Not to worry.
Take plenty of fluids. oral rehydration salts with fluid will be good.
Take usual diet. No need to change.
If you feel dizzy, lie down. Avoid driving or going out in sun or any exercises.

Hope it helps.
