Hi welcome to Healthcaremagic,
From the scenario I feel that you are having mild IBS-D or diarrhoea predominant Irritable bowel syndrome. Before coming to a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome it's a must to undergo investigations to rule out other gastrointestinal causes of your symptoms, please reply if you need details on this.
From your symptoms of loose stools I feel the treatment will need a change in diet followed by drugs.
In diet, completely avoid milk and milk products since most patients with Irritable bowel syndrome will have a component of lactose intolerance. Later you may need to try a low FODMAP diet but it's difficult to stick on. Please reply if you want more details on low FODMAP diet. I would suggest a preparation of Ispagula husk, which contain soluble fibre and is effective diarrhoea to maintain stool consistency.
A probiotic preparation should also be taken.
With these measures majority of the diarrhoea predominant Irritable bowel syndrome will come in control. Anti diarrheal medications like opiods and opioid analogous are needed only in severe cases.
I'm sure you will be all right soon.
Do reply.
Thank you.
