Brief Answer:
Time to take an anti diarrheal
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern. Initially the bloating and diarrhea could have been associated to your period coming on, but after more than two days, it is time time for medication.
Yes, do take an Imodium and also drink electrolyte water to rehydrate and replace the fluid loss.
See a doctor if you do not notice any improvement in the next 48 hours.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
