HI.
Severe stomach pains and cramps associated with severe bouts of watery stool movements may be due to gastroenteritis.
Get the stool, blood and urine tested, also blood sugar to rule out diabetes, thyroid functions.
Continue the medicines you have. Immodium should be taken only after a bout of loose stool and 6 capsules in 24 hours as a maximum dose. Do not take more than sic capsules.
Adding a proper antibiotic against the intestinal bacteria and metronidazole should have helped you. Treatment of the primary medical problem if exists is a must.
Amitryptilin has no role in such conditions and you may please stop this in consultation of your Doctor.
IF there is no relief, colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen may be needed.
Consult a Gastroenterologist for proper evaluations and treatment .
