[|AI|]  Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would dissuade you from eating from outside if you do specially spicy, fried and fast food. Plenty of bowel motions could be due to an infection of your intestines, which usually comes from food in hotels not cooked hygienically. In that case a stool test for ova and cyst, and a broad spectrum antibiotic depending on the organism detected would solve the problem. At the same time I would suggest you following changes in your dietary routine like:1) more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food2) Regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness. If the frequency of motions persist, then I would suggest you get your blood sugar and thyroid status tested in a medical laboratory. Apart from that you might need to get assessed by a gastroenterologist in case of persistence of severe symptoms. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
