Loose stools may or may not be from colitis, infectious or other. Most infectious colitis is self limited but if it is prolonged then antibiotics may be needed. It's ok to use imodium to slow down the stools.
Diarrhea is not necessarily colitis. If you do have colitis you should see your Gastroenterologist other wise can try over the counter Imodium
