However, shooting pain and diarrhea can be due to viral or bacterial
gastroenteritis or stomach flu as well. I suggest, you get stool examined for
infection. Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation (probiotics) and yoghurt with your meals, after giving the stool sample for examination Drink plenty of fluids (clear soups, water, ORS in water, lemonade). Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers, banana, rice, peeled apple, etc.
