Hi,
The first thing is to stop using loperamide. Although diarrhea is not pleasant, it could be a sign of hidden pathologies.
Therefore, I suggest to do a coproculture, exam for ova/parasites and culture for candida.
Next, I suggest close monitoring of temperature, using tasectan, oral rehydration salts for diarrhea and balancing of electrolytes, probiotics.
All the best!
