    Pepto Bismol will work the fastest and lessens the stomach cramps so good.

    You will stop the poops, unless it a stomach bug.

    You want to sip Diet Sprite, not Diet 7-Up, diet 7 UP causes gas, my doctor said never drink it if your sick, it makes your stomach bloat and makes things worse.

    Now, get you some Campbell's Home-style Chicken Noodle Soup, not just broth, broth will not give you a lot o strength and when your sick with the poops, you still need to keep something mild going in.

    Imodium AD is good, but at the same time, it reverses it, and then you become constipated so bad, and you do not want to go from having the Diarrhea to not being able to go, and getting so much gas, that then you have to take a laxative.

    Do not use something that will cause even more pain and bloating.

    If you eat crackers, try Saltines, if you have any other kind like Club or Ritz, they will work better, less salt, a tad of flavor and not as much white flour in them, to cause more Diarrhea.

    Your are in my prayers, get well soon.

    If it continues today, you need to call your doctor as soon as they open and get him to call you in some Lomotil, it will stop it so fast.

    You cannot afford to get dehydrated, keep the liquid's going in, and try not to drink just water, it worsens the stomach cramps and nausea when you have diarrhea.

    God bless, let me know how your doing, just email me.
