I'm really struggling with having frequent bowel movements, like 4 to 5 times a day, especially after eating. I used to have heartburn too, but that got better with some meds. Now, it's all about this diarrhea issue. Every time I eat, I have to rush to the washroom several times, and it's really impacting my daily life. I'm embarrassed around friends, can't travel, and find it hard to eat properly. It's unpredictable, and as soon as I feel the urge, I have to go. I recently had some tests done at AIG, and everything seemed okay except for a vitamin D deficiency of 8.6 ngml. Ive been to so many doctors, but I still can't find a solution, and it's really stressing me out. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

I've been having liquid stools and a fever since last night. I took some Roko and Crocin, but they didn't seem to help. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I try something different to feel better?
The sudden onset of loose motions with liquid stool and fever, unresponsive to Roko and Crocin, suggests a possible gastrointestinal infection, such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning; stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, like oral rehydration solutions (ORS), coconut water, or clear broths; consider taking anti-diarrheal medications like Loperamide
