Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of loose motions with no other symptoms like stomach ache can be due to causes like viral gastroenteritis, food poisoning, parasitic infestation,food intolerance, food allergies,laxative abuse,excess intake of tea and coffee,electrolyte imbalance etc..

As far as the medications that are given to you are concerned that is Rifagut that contains active ingredient Rifaximin and is a synthetic antibiotic and Ibset that is Ramosetron that is used to treat nausea,vomiting and diarrhea that is caused due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome..

Although these drugs may reduce your diarrhea but before taking then you need to know that whether they are needed or not and first the underlying cause should be ruled out..

In case if it is acute diarrhea you can take anti diarrhea drugs like Loperaminde or Furazolidone and also take Fluid replacement therapy that is drinking plenty of oral rehydration salts by dissolving in water..
Take more of yoghurt, rice, cereals and banana in diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
