Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Diarrhea can be due to infection of the gastrointestinal tract (most commonly viral or bacterial), food or lactose intolerance.

It is possible that he may have used a food or drink that may be causing his symptoms.

You can consider the use of probiotics, either plain probiotics from your local pharmacy or yogurts with probiotics. They would help restore normal flora and help symptoms to resolve quicker.

In addition, avoid milk products or any fatty/fried foods for now.

It is also important to make sure he uses enough fluids.

I hope this helps
