Breastfeeding & Diarrhea Meds?

[DebbieM]

I have a really bad stomach bug which isn't shifting and I need something to put a stop to the diarrhea. Matt's gone to Boots and they have said no to Imodium, but I know they are really over-cautious anyway.

There is a book at Baby Cafe with all the medications you can take whilst BFing but I can't leave the house today. I'm going to see if one of the other girls can have a look for me but in the meantime, does anyone here who BF's know if it is safe to take anything like that/has taken it previously?

Does this help? Hopeyou feel better soon. I know you probably are but make sure you are drinking lots of water as with you breastfeeding as well you are at gtreater risk of dehydrating

Cheers Beanie. That says I CAN take Imodium.
