Day 6 of the dreaded "D" word

Ok, I went on my first business trip last Wednesday.  Of course, I stayed with healthy choices but the first day there, I get the runs.  I'm back home now and I'm still struggeling and it's Day 6! 

Any advice?  I would love to stop taking pepto bismol.  I heard this could be a complication but I kind of tired of it now.  Should I call my doctor?

Thanks.

My GI said to try taking metamucil (sugar free) to bulk up your stools.

Are you taking any antibiotics?  I had an issue with Cipro my doc gave me for a cut that needed 6 stitches.  It took 10 days to get over the diarrhea. DAVE

No pepto bismol. It is a salicylate preperation... Salicyliate is asprin.

Oh no, Ok, I've won't use it.

No, I'm not on antibiotics.

 I think Immodium is ok.

try taking probiotics. That replaces the natural intestinal flora, which is what's needed to get your bowels moving properly.

Great.  Can I get that in yogurt or does that come in pill form?

here in Canada it comes in a capsule. You can open the capsule and mix it in something like yogurt, or applesauce or something, if capsules are too big for you to swallow.
