My mom made a sticky jelly like dish with mango and sugar. I ate just a tablespoon of that yesterday. And now I am having diarrhea for the past two days. Is it because of this? Because I didn't eat any junk food or anything else to cause diarrhea. This thing also I ate only a small tablespoon of it. Can this thing cause diarrhea even though I ate just a tiny bit of it? What should I do?

Home preserved food can cause bacterial infection but due to very small amount its highly unlikely but you should consider d possibility of that food to be infected if someone else from your home gets same kind of infection. Don't worry such infections r self limiting so you just hav to maintain fluid intake for diarrhea 1) ors (boil 1liter of water let it cool at room temperature add whole pack) drink it until you feel rehydrated or better then for every episode consume 300 ml of ors 2) tab zincovit 2 tabs daily for 10 days 3) if severity of diarrhea (more than 6 time) is high or it persists for more than a day add tab norfloxtz 1 tab for 3 days. 4) tab vizylac 1 tab for 5 days. Hav a nice day.
