Stomach aches and diarrhea during pregnancy?

Hello, thank you for your question!

The use of Kaopectate could help reduce cramps and diarrhea. It is also a safe product during breastfeeding. It is a suspension that does not require a prescription. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you the dose to take depending on the product available.

For now, I also suggest giving your digestive system a break. If possible, eat light foods such as soups, broths, soda crackers, and keep yourself well hydrated.

Avoid heavy, sugary foods such as fruit juices, soft drinks, and meat for the time being.

I hope this helps, and I am available if you have any further questions!

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
