Please, stop loperamide!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this diarrhea and vomiting that you have reported. You must have eaten something that wasn't very friendly on that Thursday night. This is classical of food intoxication. The best approach to food intoxication is to drink as much water a possible and the symptoms would generally resolve all by themselves. Loperamind is a NO NO. It retains the germs and toxins causing the symptoms in the gut. This makes the infection worse and delays recovery.
For now, stop loperamide and always avoid it in acute diarrhea. Main treatment is to drink as much water as possible and all would be okay. Unless something else like severe weakness, several watery stools, stools mixed with blood or profuse vomiting, there is no need to seek for further medical attention at this time. Also, rest, healthy diet, regular exercise, fruits and vegetables would help with recovery.
Mind where you eat as food intoxication especially on dinner out is common!
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
