If the diarrhea persists, which is very unlikely, the best thing to do is contact your veterinarian and let them know of the situation. Everything should be done in moderation.

It is best to avoid giving your dog your family’s leftovers too often. As a reminder, the so-called forbidden foods are chocolate, onions, garlic, raisins, macadamia nuts, and grapes among others.
