Hello,
I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms for diarrhea seems to be due to dyspepsia. Heavy meal could be the reason although, it is the self-limiting condition. Only you have to take care for dehydration and diet. Diarrhea should never be tried to stop with medicine like Imodium because it may cause the paralytic ileus and it is dangerous where some GI operation has been done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
