Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of constipation and stomach pains for a month or two, taking omerprazole. Took Phillips milk of magnesia and now having diarrhea for 6 hours. Wants to know what can be taken to stop diarrhea.
In most of the cases this will be self limiting, meaning the action will stop the moment the milk of magnesia will be washed out.
You can wait and watch, take banana and curds.
Imodium may be taken if you have too much of loose stool causing dehydration and weakness.
Take electral power in 1 liter of water and drink to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
I hope this answers your query.
