Pregnancy and loperamide

[Abby436]

Hiya I've just found out I'm pregnant and suffer with IBS D does anyone have advice on how to controll the diarrhoea as I've been advised to stop all medication including loperamide.

Congratulations! 🌺 Don't have an advice, but if it brings on some hope - I was absolutely symptoms free only during my pregnancy, there was no need for any medicine. Hope you have the same luck.

Thank you so much!

Congratulations. If you have been told by gp to stop all medications then I wouldn't take anything without speaking to your gp. Food like rice and eggs should help with diarrhea. But speak to gp. Wish you well.

Hi Abby436, I would contact your doctor again and ask if it's okay as you took it last time! See link below for general information:
