Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Vomiting While On Imodium
Gastroenteritis most likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As per the history was given by you most likely cause of your problem is Gastroenteritis.
Constipation or Loose stools both are a characterstic feature of Gastroenteritis.
Gastroenteritis if left untreated or if not managed properly changes into chronic enteritis with recurrent symptoms.
Imodium is just an antidiarrhoeal agent which reduces symptoms however proper management includes going for a stool test (Routine and microscopic analysis) to see if there is a parasitic or bacterial infestation.
Thereafter therapy with antibiotic and antiprotozoals like Secnidazole 1 gm and Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice should be taken to eradicate the problem. You may need a prescription for these from your local physician.
Thanks!
Please follow up with the stool reports.
Feel free to ask further.

Stool test should be done to rule out the exact nature of the causative agent.

Hello dear,
No one knows what were the conditions of the kitchen in which onions were used.
Hygiene of the food/ worker or chef?
Even if it were cooked no one knows if any worker had a gastric infection.
So just follow the advice and let me know how you stay later on.
Regards!
