Diarrhea: As for diet, avoid spicy foods and harsh, undigestible roughage and favor bland, soft foods. Being pregnant I would ask your obstetrician what medications are safe to take. Drink adequate room temperature fluids to avoid dehydration. If diarrhea doesn't show gradual improvement over the next 2 days, a stool culture to check for pathogens should be done.
