Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of acute diarrhea and weight loss. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like

- electrolyte imbalance
-food allergy
-bacterial or viral infection
- food intolerance
-parasitic infection
- inflammatory bowel disease.

Need not to worry. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Take diet rich in fibres as well. You should take plenty of fluids to re-hydrate. For now eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe medications like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
