Pages: 1 Pregnancy-IBS-D- Help!       #358237 - 04/30/10 11:31 AM Edit Reply Quote ReneeB Reged: 04/30/10 Posts: 3 Hi this is my first time posting. I have had IBS-D for about 16 years. It has been stable for the past 4 years...but just this past week it flared up. I am 15 weeks pregnant. I have been having diarrhea the past week about every other day...I have been taking Kaopectate when I do to stop it. I have also been just eating the BRAT diet for the past week...but it seems that I am still having diarrhea. I also have high anxiety...I am scared to eat anything...my heart has been racing and I've been hot and clammy. I can't sleep either. My dr put me on zoloft and prilosec yesterday. My IBS has always flared up during times of stress/change...the past 4 years I have been able to eat what I want pretty much. A couple days ago I ate a piece of plain baked chicken and I had diarrhea afterwards and horrible stomach pains. What is going on? Is it just the anxiety? I have already lost 2 lbs during my pregnancy and do not want to lose anymore. What can I eat that will be safe but not give me diarrhea/upset stomach. Sometimes after I eat it feels like my stomach is on fire/burning for hours. Thank you so much.

I would also eat more baked potato. These are my staples when in stress mode. And don't drink water on an empty stomach either make sure you have food in there. HTH -------------------- IBS-D since 1999...mostly stable..i do cheat too.Bad me.

I'm also taking colon care(gnc)..it has psyllium and acidophilus. Should I stop that? Do u think it is affecting me negatively? My stomach is just upset a lot..constantly gurgling..sometimes burning.
