Water & fiber: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink plenty of water. You should drink enough water so that you urine is mostly colorless. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

Take nothing.: Your best bet right now would be to take nothing. If you have a viral infection or food-borne illness, your body has to expel that which is bothering it. Hence, diarrhea and sometimes vomiting. Let it happen. Drink fluids and lighter foods. If you're still having diarrhea beyond five days, see a doctor locally.
