Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is not advisable to check the diarrhea with Imodium, this drug ceased the peristalsis of guts and it turn into paralytic ilium, abdomen distension actually passing of the stool three to four time in day is normal one and may not need any treatment but care need to be take for dehydration only if the symptoms long last then stool needs to be sent for culture sensitivity test, hope this information helps.
