See below: Bland food lots of liquids. Some doctors discourage anti diarrheal meds but I would take Imodium (loperamide) after each loose stool

Diarrhea X 2 Days>Dr: Most acute diarrhea is caused by viruses or bacteria(gastroenteritis). The likely infectious agent may be different in the U.S. as compared to other countries. If a younger adult has an uncomplicated mild diarrhea (no fever or blood in the stool) Imodium (loperamide) is often prescribed to reduce stool frequency. Avoid fatty foods, eat lean meat,fruit,veg., cereal,etc. If not better quickly>Dr
