When Imodium does not work:
From one of my Traveling WiW's: On my trip to Burundi I was prescribed Azithromycin 500 mg to take once a day
for three days but only when Imodium did not work. I must say you know you�re in trouble when Imodium doesn�t work.
Azithromycin 500 mg worked just fine!
BTW I asked the guide, an attorney and citizen of Burundi, what I should do if I need medical attention while in Burundi. His immediate reaction was
�Leave the country�. He advised that depending on the problem, Rwanda is an adjacent country but why not go to Brussels where good treatment is
available. 
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

Traveling on the mainland, my 8 yr. old son came down with a stomach bug that caused him to not keep anything in at both ends for 3 days. We stopped
in Culiacon and the pharmacist handed me the smallest white round pill I had ever seen. Had to keep my eye on it in my palm while walking back to the
van.
Gave it to my son and 3 hours later he was hungry and held it down! No problems from then on and still 25 years later!
