Brief Answer:
Take probiotic...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through the details provided. Yes, you seem to have an gut infection following the canteen food. In such circumstances it is really not advisable to take an antidiarrheal agent like eldoper. Therefore do not take any more eldoper.

For the current problems, I recommend that you start probiotics - ENTEROGERMINA three times a day for next couple of days. Take plenty of fluids, curd and yogurt. If the pain is severe, you may take one dose of antispasmodic such as meftal spas.

In addition, I would also suggest that we start antacids - Nexpro 40mg once a day before breakfast for a week for additional benefits.

It is advisable to see the doctor incase pain and discomfort is extreme or if have more loose stools.

Hope this helps.

Regards
