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.
