Can I take Imodium?

[Hexeex]

I'm on my way to the airport right now in a taxi. Last night at about 8pm I got horrendous stomach cramps and had to rush to the bathroom. I have been up most of the night forwards and backwards to the toilet. I don't know what's wrong, whether it's a bug or something I ate (but I don't know what that could be)

I'm really nervous about being on the plane and also on the transfer to the airport. I'm 30 mins away from the airport now and can feel my stomach gurgling.

If I get imodium from the airport will it work in time to slow it down within a few hours? But also if this is a bug should I even take it or will that do more harm than good? I have read that you probably shouldn't take it if it's a virus because it needs to come out. Ahhh!

Worth a try, won't do any harm.

I’m feeling for you. I normally would but I had what I think was a bug a couple of weeks ago. Worst diarrhoea of my life and some vomiting too. I tried Imodium and just puked it back up, but I think it had somehow made the vomit really thick and honestly it was awful.

I don’t want to freak you out, but mine lasted 4 days and by the end my arse had lost control and I was just constant leaking. Redhudration sachets helped which I left too late.

I really hope you don’t have what I had and you’re better quickly and able to enjoy your holiday

I feel nervous for the passengers on same flight as you

Take them, I have a side effect of one of my meds which make me go to the loo a lot. I take a tablet for diarrhoea before I travel any distance.
