I have found that if you use Imodium it only stops the runs and it doesn't stop the bacteria.....it's better to let it run it's course and let your body get rid of the offending substance, thats why you have the runs, to get rid of it...but, drink lots of water and an electrolyte if you have one. This can easily be made rather than buy, from a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt in water...drink a glassful at least three times a day. Let your body do the rest...it is designed to keep you healthy and eliminate toxins and bacteria. Yes it may take a couple of days, but allow it to go through your system and out in a natural way....just keep your fluids up....and be near a toilet....!!!
