Hydrate: Its never a good idea to take a medication to bind loose stool if it is due to some infectious agent, In general this will subside in a few days in the mean time drink plenty of fluids to maintain hydration. Avoid caffeine it makes you urinate more and we want you to retain the fluids.

Give It Time: secretory diarrhea from a cheese ingestion will resolve as soon as your body flushes out the offending agent.
