Listen to PCP.: The treatment will depend on what caused the gastroenteritis. I would think the butter milk fast could make it worse. For gastroenteritis regardless of what caused it, a bland diet would be preferable without milk products as you treat the diarrhea and electrolyte imbalance . Pcp can also order c.Diff test.

Butter milk is hard: On gut. Start with clear liquid like water, soda that is clear, or sports hydration drinks. Sip often to prevent dehydration. Work up to solids with bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, gelatin, or chicken. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, dairy ; high fat foods. Rest.
