Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

I appreciate the way you have faith in health care magic as you have interacted with our experts previously for your wife kid and mothers health related issues

This time you had chocolate cake today and having loose motions
i would like to know about the time interval between eating cake and onset of symptoms
does it associated with vomiting or pain in abdomen?

This could be a food poisoning due to contamination of either bacillus cereus, staphylococci or clostridia

in my opinion you should consult your GP for few tests like blood profile and stool test as well as culture

meanwhile have plenty of fluids including ORS to counter dehydration
have probiotics to increase the useful intestinal bacteria
you can have loperamide group of drugs after consultation with your doctor

Hope you will find my response helpful and informative please feel free to ask for further assistance
