Severe diarrhoea during pregnancy

2026-09-11 19:15:53
Hello, i am a 30 yr old woman, expecting a child in march beginning 2027. Currently my pregnancy is 15 week 4 days with LMP on 26 may 2026. Everything was going fine when one day i felt like having something spicy and had momos after long, the first time in pregnancy. Had 5 momos and ever since i came back home, i have had watery diarrhoea, told my family, my Mother in law's father used to be a doctor, he recommended taking noroflox tablet with metrogyl 200 i took one of noroflox but my doctor the next day told me not to take noroflox so i didn't continue. I took metrogyl one per day only 2 days, tried restricting the consumption of medicines, i thought the lesser the medication the better, but the diarrhoea i think has gone but i haven't had a normal poop since then, everytime i try eating a anything apart from BRAT diet or lets say after every meal, i poop and like loose motion, what antibiotics should i take or ors or is there any possibility of gut infection? Should i b concerned?

Your gut can take a few days to settle after diarrhoea, even once the infection itself has cleared. This doesn't automatically mean you still have an active infection.
Next Steps
Please continue ORS and easy-to-digest food, and update your doctor that your bowel habit hasn't fully normalized yet.
Health Tips
Please don't restart antibiotics on your own. If loose stools continue for several more days or fever returns, get checked in person.
