Why do i have constant non-stop diarrhea? my doctor just prescribes imodium (loperamide) and antibiotics hoping it will stop. imodium (loperamide) doesn't even work anymore.

Stool Testing: This is not normal. One must seek out the cause of the problem. This is done with both cultures and other studies of the stool and through examination such as colonoscopy done by a GI specialist.
