I've been having this issue where my stomach starts hurting right after meals, and I feel like I have to run to the bathroom with really loose stools. I tried taking Gut OK for like a week, but it didn't help at all. What could be going on here? Should I try something else or maybe get checked out?

Based on your symptoms, you may benefit from taking Imodium to help with your loose stools and stomach discomfort. Imodium is an over-the-counter medication that can help control diarrhea. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
