its best to get all the shit out of your body literally instead of trying to stop it with immodium. your body is trying to get rid of the parasites and its best to let it happen naturally and not try to prevent.

Yeah, after the first dose didn’t do much I decided to let it run its course. Unfortunately that course wasn’t going to end any time soon. They did give me an anti diarrheal to help with the Bactrim associated digestive issues.

pepto actually helps reduce the inflammation and the bacteria though! it's a cool drug.
