Severe Cramps Without Bowel Movements After Taking Anti Diarrheal Pills For Diarrhea. Can Regular Diet Be Resumed?

I went to the ER with severe diarea. They gave me antibiotics, anti diarial pills potassium pills. If I take the anti Diarial pills I dont have a bowel movment just sever cramps. At the time of the ER visit it had been going on for 5 days now 7days. I am not bed ridden any more. Can I resume regular diet, and should I be concerned that my symptoms havent stopped. They think I drank bad well water.
