Diarrhoea, Nausea, Liquid Stools, Burping, Indigestion, Imodium Not Working, Tired, Weakness

I have had diarrhea for 3 days now with some nausea . It is COMPLETELY liquid. Along with this, I have had bubbling in my stomach and burping that has a really foul oder. I am so tired and weak feeling. I have been taking Imodium for 3 days and it has not improved at all, it has actually gotten worse. I have been on crackers and bland foods. What can I take to help this?
