Hi I have gone through your query....

You have classic presentation of food poisoning that is acute gastroenteritis....

Cause could be.....
-bacterial
-viral or
-parasites

First start treatment with antibiotic like cefixime for 5 days....
More water and fruit juice to maintain hydration...
Semisolid diet taken ...
Small meal taken with frequent interval...
For few days avoid irritants like ....
-tea excess
-red and pork meat like non veg
-sour fruit
-smoking
-alcohol etc....

Green leafy veg more for few days.

If no improvement stool examination for parasite done to rule out ameba , giardia, ascaris , tenia solium etc....
According treated by cause...

If still needed stool culture or USG done for further work up if diarrhea not resolving after 5 days....

Take care....
