How To Treat Constipation?

I have had loose motions and vomiting for the last couple of weeks. They stop during medication with Cifran and Pantocid DSR, which I have taken for days X two time. I am still not okay. I finsihed the second course yesterday and felt vomtish tonight after a light dinner. A friend suggests Nizonide-O. Should I, and what is it for? Thanks. Rai

Age 64, 5.7 inches height, and weight is 90.

I sleep late, do eat erratically but also fruits and yoghurt etc. Slight constipation but generally okay.
