TMI post regarding number 2's...

[Lulabell]

Ok, well I thought I had some sort of food poisoning as I've had diarrhea for nearly 5 days now. I thought I'd look into it on google and it seems to be a common symptom in pregnancy? Has anyone else had this? If you have, is there anything you've taken to help ease it? Ive been a long term sufferer of ibs and used to take fibrejel (not sure on spelling) and was wondering if i could use that to see if it would help? I went to docs and testing me for bugs or food poisoning just incase as I ate pink chicken by accident last week.

Any help or advice is gratefully received.xx

you poor thing. I would stay away from the fibrogel..... I was given it for constipation as it makes it softer, so not sure if its a good idea to take for diahorrea!
Best thing I have ever found if bananas... give those a try. xxx

Try eggs - they are good for binding you up a bit. And Im with Jomc - fibrogel is to improve flow, not stop it.

Pregnancy can make IBS better or worse, I seem to be lucky and it's made mine a better. I wouldnt take anything though without doctor agreeing, being bunged up is just as bad, sometimes even more painful. Maybe look at your diet and cut down on things that make you 'go' and increase bulky foods until doctor comes back with some answers.
