Diarrhea: From your answer, I am taking for granted that you have no bleeding of fever. It could be just a virus but you should avoid dairy for about 2 weeks as some infections can give you a short term lactose intolerance. Try a BRAT diet (banana, rice, apple sauce tea toast). Avoid fresh vegetables and salads for a week. If the problem persists, I would have your stool tested for possible parasites.
