A member asked:

5wks pregnant i take forlic acid and preg vitamins but past 3 days been having loose stool and stomach pain what can i take to help ease it and stop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop the Vits +: Advise: Stop taking the folic acid and the multivitamins until you get better. Try regular yogurt ( or probyotics ) to stop the diarrhea and help the guts. Nux Vomica ( homeopathic remedy which is safe to take with pregnancy ) would help the stomach pains.
