Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of a 59 year old female who after getting from night shift and had an explosive clear diarrhea without any smell. Also noted that you are under a lot of stress and has weight problem, taking medicines for high blood pressure and cholesterol, otherwise healthy.
Such an occurrence can be due to either viral infection or a bacterial infection of the Salmonella group.
I would advise you the following:
Blood tests for CBC, diabetes and thyroid; culture and sensitivity sometimes helps a lot for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Test of the stool also helps in deciding the treatment which may be an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic and supportive management.
I find this answer helpful
