Given the size of Imodium instants, I would expect the level of lactose to be negligible so would have to be very sensitive to this ingredient to react I'd say? Would rather take it for diarrhoea and risk a little upset than go without a lose a day to being on the toilet!

Buy a RADAR key which will open any disabled toilet in theUK
