Get tested salmonella and other bugs. . I am not a fan of Imodium because it slows the gut so takes longer to eliminate bugs. It does not go substantially into breastmilk.. Would consider activated charcoal capsules ( safe) and /or probiotic ( which are generally thought as safe in breast feeding) , especially Florastor but please discuss with the pediatrician before starting
