Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea And Stomach Bloating

I ve had diarrhea for 7 days now. The first 2-3 days I had symptoms of food poisoning since we buy jamba juice mix in freezer section and those were recalled for listeria. My sons had it too. After that, the sick, full feeling, bloating stayed but we re not as intense. I went about 6 days barely eating a single meal in a day, drinking water, Gatorade, or ginger ale. It s now been 7 full days of diarrhea. I ve gone through almost 3 packs of Imodium to no relief.
