Hi Dear

There are many causes of diarroea.

If you are having once or twice a day, i would not recommend to take immodium.

You can take a Proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole for the mild stomach aches as they may be cause of acidity.

Take light , soft, bland diet.

Still your problem persists, meet a physician
