Brief Answer:
sure you can...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you can drink gatorade if you'd like. If the diarrhea is over you can eat and drink anything actually... If you still have loose stool then you'd better avoid fatty food, fiber and milk for a while. You won't get yourself in danger if you don't but you're going to have more loose stool.

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
