Hello
I had gone through your question diligently and I will try to help you out in best possible way

gas in abdomen and loose stools can be caused by food poisoning, gastroenteritis, colitis or worm infestation and intestinal hypermotility

I would like further information to help you better like
his age
frequency of stools or whether it is associated with bleeding?

In my opinion you should consult your doctor for examination and stool test for ova cyst or parasite
You may require a course of antibiotics like tinidazole or metronidazole and probiotics

meanwhile try to observe good hygiene
wash his hands with antiseptic soap or solution after using wash room
give him plenty of fluids including ORS to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables or dietary fibers
Hope this answers your question
Best wishes
