good medicine for loose motion - #15929

Dev

I am having a really tough time dealing with some major loose motion issues. A couple of days ago, I had dinner with some friends, and I think it might’ve been the undercooked chicken or something, but ever since then, I’ve been running to the bathroom like crazy. I’m talking several times an hour! I can't remember the last time I felt this drained too. My stomach is all churning and feels like a rollercoaster, and to top it off, I got this awful cramping that's making things worse. I tried drinking lots of water and some ginger tea, but that didn’t seem to help. I just want to know what is a good medicine for loose motion that can really work! I did some googling and see a mix of stuff out there—like loperamide or bismuth subsalicylate—but is that really the best options? Are there any over-the-counter meds that you guys recommend? I’m kinda wary of taking meds because I don't want to end up with side effects or make things worse. If I take anything, how long does it usually take to kick in? And what about diet—should I stick to just liquids or can I eat something mild? Any advice on a good medicine for loose motion would be super appreciated! I really need to feel better ASAP!
