What Causes Recurrent Diarrhea Despite Taking Imodium?
I m experiencing diarrhea for more than two weeks.I m taking Imodium one a day. That seems to help but the diarrhea keeps occurring. Should I take more Imodium? Go on a diet of clear liquids for several days? Not sure how to get this under control.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the medicine you are taking is not curative medicine but it just check the diarrhea which could be danger some time, the underlying cause of diarrhea would be matter of concern and that need to be treated, if this is the frequency of passing of the stool is just 3 to 4 times in day then it is normal one and may not need any treatment hope this information helps.
