A member asked:
Just had a liquid, cloudy bowel movement, & it smelled odd. like a body fluid. i'm 7 wks/5 d preg w/ 2nd kid. ate cheese grits for dinner. alarming?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No,: This may be related to high fiber in grits or fat and lactose content in cheese. Persistent diarrhea, especially with cramping and fever is more likely to be an infection. It is unlikely that this will have an impact on your pregnancy. Congratulations.
