Dear kannan,
Stop using Imodium (Loperamide). It is usually suggested when one have severe uncontrolled diarrhea to prevent the electrolyte and water loss and for people who travels a lot to avoid discomfort.

I advice you to use T. Metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily , C.Bifelac twice daily and ORS powder. 1 ORS packet in 1 liter of water . Drink plenty of drinking water 4 to 5 liters per day.
Take foods which are rich in fibers.

keep in touch,
