A member asked:

Im 17 weeks pregnant and have stomach cramps and diarrhoea going on 5 days now. what can i take for relief?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abdominal cramps and diarrhea should be treated by your OB provider. Medications such as "lo-motil" is often effective for arresting diarrhea, but a clostridium infection needs specific antibiotics for treatment, so ask for an exam for his/her recommendations.
