Got acute gastroenteritis, severe diarrhea leading to dehydration

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I had a bad stomachache and had diarrhea more than 10 times a day. I was severely dehydrated. Later, I got an IV drip at the hospital, and my spirits improved significantly. Today, I didn't get an IV drip, and my stomach feels much better. However, it still makes gurgling sounds after eating. A few days ago, my stool was watery, containing yellow and greenish-black viscous substances. Today, it's yellow and foamy. I would like to ask if I have fully recovered, whether I need to go to the hospital for further treatment, and whether I can return to a normal diet.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: It is likely acute gastroenteritis. It may be related to unclean food and not paying attention to whether it is properly cooked or spoiled.
Advice: Avoid indigestible, greasy, or raw, cold, and spicy foods. Rice porridge is the best option. Maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, and replenish sufficient fluids.
