Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Firstly I want to make sure that you have stopped taking antidiarrhea drugs such loperamid possibly taken during diarrhea episode a month ago.
I think you can modify your diet having more fibers, fruits and vegetables, plums, kiwi, oat XXXXXXX increasing water intake.
You can also use laxatives such Sena leaves tea or lactulose taken with lots of water.
Having physical activity or simply going for a walk can improve bowel movement.
Hope I have answered the question.
