I normally use the over the counter imodium, Lomotil is good but I am out and haven't used it for awhile. I also use nutmeg I get my finger wet and get some on my finger and lick it off, it helps with diahrrea. Also if you are going alot, make some jello and drink the liquid don't allow it to set up.

Loperamide is imodium. OTC here. I managed to find a pharmacu that has the Lomotil in stock, now need to fina a Dr that has a 3 part script pad as it is a narcotic. His Dr is away for 2 weeks, no replacement.
