Try finding something with the word "senna" in it. That's a plant seed-based
laxative that is gentle. It's an old remedy, so is likely to be cheap.

If tablets or capsules are ok, try Imodium. It's available anywhere,
and works well.

As I have posted before Immodium can kill you. If you want medical advice
ask a
doctor.

diarrhea can definitely kill you if the immodium can't.

He prescribed immodium.

My former works doctor was a specialist in tropical medicine. His opinion
was
that Immodium should only be available on prescription.

Well, then, since you feel so strongly about it, what would you substitute?

Kaolin until it looks like it isn't going to go away, then get some
(a) antibiotics and (b) expert help.

The worst diarrhoea I've ever had (in Sinop, one of the most developed
cities in Turkey and not somewhere you'd expect such a thing to happen)
was dealt with by a very knowledgeable pharmacist who also provided a
course of probiotics to continue for a bit longer than the antibiotics.
I'm not too sure what the mechanism of action of these is, but they're
recognized in the British Pharmacopeia as well. The pharmacist must have
known what the local bugs would respond to. If I'd stuck with Imodium
I could have ended up messily dead.

I had what I think was giardia once - that *certainly* isn't going to
respond to Imodium.

Took immodium on prescription for a severe dose of "the runs" after
consulting the doc.

The stuff caused a blockage of my intestinal tract and said blockage
had to be removed via an endoscope in hospital. Felt as if I was
having a heart attack, and the ambulance people thought so too and
dosed me with morphine and Gawd knows what. Ended up in intensive care
for a night.

Immodium can be nasty stuff.

Reminds me of the old crossword clue - constipation - 12 letters
beginning in "n" and ending in "n"......
