I've been wondering about something since I got bitten by a dog last week. It's a street dog, but it's been taken care of by a family. I'm not sure if it's been vaccinated, so I've started my Rabipur vaccinations and have had three doses so far. With all of this happening, can I eat non-veg food right now? If it's not safe, how long should I wait before I can have it again? Also, if I can have non-veg, are there any specific diet restrictions I should follow for now? Just trying to figure things out.

Variable Stool Texture and Timing _Possible Causes_ 1. _Gastrointestinal motility_: Variations in gut motility can cause changes in stool texture and timing. 2. _Dietary factors_: Consuming different types of food or drinks throughout the day can influence stool texture and frequency. 3. _Hormonal fluctuations_: Hormonal changes throughout the day can affect bowel movements. 4. _Underlying medical conditions_: Certain conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroparesis, or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can cause variable stool texture and timing. _Common Patterns_ 1. _Morning stool_: Often more solid due to overnight gut motility and hormonal changes. 2. _Afternoon and evening stool_: May be flatter or more liquid due to increased gut motility and hormonal changes throughout the day. _Recommendations_ 1. _Keep a food and symptom diary_: Track your diet, stool texture, and any symptoms to identify potential patterns or triggers. 2. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: Discuss your symptoms with a specialist to rule out underlying medical conditions. 3. _Maintain a balanced diet_: Eat a fiber-rich diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support healthy gut motility and bowel habits.
