Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
May be your doctor is suspecting a lactose intolerance, so he has given Isomil. You have to rule out ineffective cause of diarrhea.
I suggest go for a stool culture.
And if it comes negative, go for a balance diet plan with less lactose.
And you can continue Bifilac and zinc supplements.
Take care
