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.
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.
Thank you it's just I'm so confused my first pregnancy I was OK by the gp to take my loperamide but this time I'm not just so confused lol
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:
