No advice here but: This forum is not for advice. If having new diarrhea, one can look at common causes of temporary diarrhea, with temporary meaning it may go away in a day or a few days. Causes may be a stomach virus, contaminated food, medication effects, or food that just didn't agree with the stomach or intestines (and caused rapid transit of the stool), etc... When symptoms are worrisome, a doctor can evaluate.
