Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Blood in stool mostly not due to Imodium. Imodium won't cause blood in stools. It may be due to dysentery or diarrhea or due hemorrhods or fissure or fistula etc. Use tablet Ornidazole ofloxacine twice a day for five days. Use tablet sporulac twice a day for five days. Take plenty of water and fluid. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
