Just a quick note, if you are experiencing diarrhea, and replenishing your fluids is not a problem, you might want to avoid the imodium (loperamide) until you can rule out a bacterial infection. The body's response to certain GI bugs and ingested toxins is to evacuate the bowel as quickly as possible (diarrhea). Now, if you have a limited water supply (a serious survival situation), imodium might very well be indicated, because you will die from dehydration faster than from an infection.

Just my two cents
