Chronic travellers diarrhoea
Discussion
Out in the Dominican at the moment, and for the past 12 days, I've had the runs every day.
Tried Immodium and took a blister pack but it didn't work. That was last week. Its not making me feel I'll but I'm sick of going to the toilet on impulse! Dropped to a basic diet and down to only one drink a day (on an all inclusive its killing me!)
Is it worth another go with Loperamide or will it do more harm than good? It'll be a trip to the GP after the weekend if it likely persists.

Oh great! Well where the inmodium failed, the loperamide seems to have at least given me relief! It does slow down the movement of food through the intestine though which in turn allows more water to be absorbed.
But I do think at 12 days I'm probably pissing in the wind and its little more than respite rather than rescue.
