Flagyl will only work for Amebiasis , Giardiasis and Anaerobic infections .
If what you have is only a bacterial infection you will require an antibiotic which probably is available through prescription.
Imodium can be of temporary help for your current problem.It is an Overthe counter product available in all pharmacies and big supermarkets.
Make sure you keep yoursef hydrated with lot of water , tender coconut water . You can have black tea with bread toast and apple sauce for symptomatic relief
