medicines for loose motions - #14611

Kimaya

I am in a bit of a panic here, had a really rough weekend! Out of nowhere, I got hit with what I think are loose motions, like every hour I was running to the bathroom. It started Saturday afternoon right after lunch, felt fine before that, but the food didn’t seem bad? I didn’t think much of it until I couldn’t stop going. I tried drinking lots of water, but honestly, I don’t know if that’s enough. I remember my grandma always swore by certain medicines for loose motions, but I can’t remember what they were. Yesterday a friend suggested something over the counter but I'm worried about side effects and if I should just let it run its course instead? Plus, before this, I didn’t have any stomach pain, just a bit of bloating. I even took a probiotic, but now I'm not sure if that's helping or making it worse?? I feel like an idiot not keeping better track of what works. Can I take those medicines for loose motions along with the probiotic? Like, are there specific medicines that are actually safe? I don’t wanna end up messing up my system more, ya know? Any advice would be mad helpful.
