Diarrhea

I’m away on holiday and have been really careful what I eat and drinking plenty of water, however I have just started to get diarrhea and was wondering what other people took for it if they have had it. No sickness so not thinking it’s food poisoning but Google doesn’t seem to help me find an answer, TIA

Just make sure you drink plenty of water to replace the water you’re losing
I think that’s all you can do!
Dioralyte (don’t know how to spell it) is good as it replaces the vitamins you’re losing but I have no idea if you can have it when pregnant

If you’re not unwell with it I’d try not to worry too much unless it stretches beyond 48hrs, then I’d call your midwife line.

In terms of what you can take, I think there isn’t much available during pregnancy to stop the diarrhea but as Kate mentioned, you have to hydrate. Sprite is excellent (not zero, normal) as it has salts and sugars and other than that lots of water xx

I was in exactly the same boat, I probably had diarrhoea for a week, I just made sure to eat starchy foods and drink water. My midwife recommended taking probiotics Optibac x
