Travellers diarrhoea.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms you are describing are mostly suggestive of travellers diarrhoea.When you visit a place different from your native region the climate or sanitary conditions etc are different so you have an increased risk of developing infection due to a bacteria called E.coli which causes traveler's diarrhea.The most common species involved is enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli bacteria.
Stool analysis and culture are required to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment-
Tab Rifaximin 550 mg once daily 9 a.m
Cap Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily in morning empty stomach 6 a.m
Tab Buscopan 10 mg twice daily 9 a.m-9 p.m
Cap econorm thrice daily(probiotic)
5 days course of medication to be taken for complete eradication of bacteria and intestinal inflammation.
Hope I was helpful,
Follow up are welcome.
Thanks!

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Basically Norfloxacin is an antibiotic which covers gram negative bacteria's like E.coli.
Therefore every time when you have this problem you take it along with imodium and was relieved.However a full course of therapy should be taken once to erradicate the bacteria completely.
Yes take medicines I suggested and follow up after 5days.
Thank you!
