I had diarrhea all night and the following morning. I took some Imodium-like tablets following the instructions. I am still suffering from cramps. What should I do?

It is possible to experience cramps when taking Imodium in a gastrointestinal context, as it suppresses the body's ability to expel the virus causing diarrhea. It is recommended to only take Imodium when necessary and to avoid it if possible. Using a hot water bottle on the stomach, eating light foods, and avoiding acidic, sugary, or spicy foods can help alleviate the cramps. If the cramps persist after five days, it is advisable to seek medical advice.
