Hi,
Passing a stool two to three times a day is not the diarrheal condition but it is the normal condition. Diet plays the important role in forming the fecal material and defecation. If you are passing the stool frequently then it may not be the disease condition.
Stool culture sensitivity may help in rule out the possibility of infection.
Try to change the diet. Imodium is not advisable, it can cause the paralytic ilium.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
