Loose motions about 5 times a day are usually due to a mild stomach infection or a food issue affecting digestion. Drink plenty of fluids, take oral rehydration solution, eat light foods like rice or bananas, and avoid oily or spicy items. Keep yourself hydrated and watch for weakness or reduced urine. A doctor may advise suitable medicine if needed, so consult if it continues or worsens.

Loose motions with thin stools after earlier hard stool can be due to a mild stomach infection or sudden change in digestion. Drink plenty of fluids, take oral rehydration, eat light foods like rice or banana, and avoid oily or spicy items to settle the stomach. Keep yourself hydrated and watch for weakness, fever, or continued change in stool pattern. If it does not improve or keeps recurring, consult a doctor to check the cause and guide proper treatment.
