Please tell me what to take and do when you have diarrhea & stomach discomfort?

OTC diarrhea med: It is usually ok to take Imodium (loperamide) for diarrhea. One big exception is if you have any blood in your stool, in which case taking any anti diarrheal medication can be dangerous, and you should see a doctor first.
