Have a query?

I have had loose motions for 3 days after eating out; what should I do?

Asked by Female, 24 · 30 days ago

Eat light, easily digested foods and drink plenty of water and oral rehydration salts (ORS) throughout the three days of loose movements. See a doctor right away if you get severe abdominal pain, a high fever, blood in your stools, or diarrhea that lasts longer than three to four days.

Having loose motions for three days after eating out suggests a possible mild infection or food-related irritation. It’s important to stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids like oral rehydration solutions, but avoid sugary or caffeinated drinks.

You can consider taking medication like loperamide (available as Lopamide tablets) to help reduce diarrhea, but only after consulting a doctor, especially since it requires a prescription. If you experience symptoms like high fever, severe abdominal pain, blood in stools, or signs of dehydration (dizziness, very little urine), seek immediate medical attention.

For now, follow these steps:

  • Drink plenty of fluids, including traditional Indian options like buttermilk or coconut water.
  • Eat light, bland foods such as khichdi, boiled potatoes, or plain rice.
  • Avoid spicy, oily, or heavy meals until symptoms improve.
  • Consult a gastroenterologist or a general physician for proper evaluation and treatment.

If you want, I can explain how to prepare homemade oral rehydration solutions or suggest specific dietary tips.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
