Brief Answer:
Not properly managed enteritis.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for your query.

As per your query most likely you are having recurrent gut infection called enteritis.The symptoms you are describing are mostly suggestive of recurrent bacterial gastroenteritis which is the bacterial infection of the intestine.If not properly managed its recurrent.Stool analysis and culture are required to confirm the diagnosis. Management is with antibiotics (usually a combination of Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole) for which you will need a prescription. So please be advised to follow up with the urgent care.
Imodium would just help you symptomatically.
So get the test done and get a prescription for the meficines.
Thanks and regards!
