Suggest Remedy For Ileostomy Reversal

My husband has had an ileostomy reversal a few weeks ago. Ever since then, he has had severe diarreah, going approx. 20 times a day. He jus couldn't take it anymore and last night began taking Imodium. I hope this is o.k. He doesn't see his surgeon until this coming Monday, 3 days from now.
