What Is The Treatment For Loose Motion?

I have been having loose stools for approx 6 months now. I will have anormal bowel movement in a morning then I wil have a loose bowel movement maybe 1-2 hours later. I will then have a loose bowel movement after I have had lunch. I will not have any bowel movement after my evening meal until the next morning. There is no blood present and I have not lost any weight. When my stools are loose they are usually light brown/ yellow in colour and fluffy in appearance (not a properley formed stool). I also experience incredible griping pains in my lower abdomen. I take immodium which stops the loose stools for a couple of days and then it returns I also take Buscopan for the spasm. Is it okay for me to take immodium on basis of stopping loose stools as often as I am?

Many Thanks.

You might be having Irritable Bowel Syndrome. You should take Tab. Rifaximin 550mg 1+1+1 for 2 weeks. It is both therapeutic and diagnostic
