Diarrhea and inappetence are quite aspecific signs and there are many different causes. Dietary indiscretion, infections (bacterial, viral or parasitic), inflammatory conditions (i.e. IBD), and neoplastic diseases are some of the possible causes. Sometimes an upset tummy can be mildly painful especially if you hear, as you reported, some "gurglings" and could explain the inappetence. I would avoid ham if possible and start Nickolas on a bland diet (boiled chicken and rice). If his diarrhea is still present in 12-24 hours or he starts vomiting or getting lethargic I would have Nickolas checked by your veterinarian.
