Can Imodium And Gas X Be Taken For Severe Diarrhea?

My best friend is on her last dose of Cipro and continuing with her Bactrim for a bad ITI (54 years old) she is having severe diarrhea and working a new job. I was going to run her over some items tonight to try and help her feel better. I have Imodium, gas x, plain cooked pasta, real homemade mashed potatoes, was voing to get some ginger ale, and put some essential oil of peppermint on a cottonball for her to smell (nausea And severe diarrhea). Is this all okay? Plua any other suggest?
