Hi,

There are many causes for pus cells in the stool like bacillary dysentery or gastroentritis or amoebic dysentery or inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome or food intolerance, etc.

Yes outside food may can cause bowel infection lead to pus in stools. So get it done stool culture and microscopy. Use tablet Ofloxacine and Ornidazole twice a day for five days.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
