I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I'm there, too... I have been throwing up since yesterday, not keeping even water down, and the diarrhea started today. I tried to call the doctor, since I have to be dehydrated by now, but they didn't return my call. I think I might just go to the office tomorrow. It's better than waiting and going to the emergency room over the weekend!

I hope you feel better soon!

Helen, i'm sorry you're not feeling well - you're right, go to the office...i've been drinking the gatorade, so i'm glad for that at least...

 

Sorry about that - was there whey protein in the protein bar? The diarrhea might be making you lactose intolerant...and i would think that the fiber in the oatmeal is probably not helping. Can you keep bananas down? They are very 'binding'.

Feel better - and keep DRINKING!

 

hmmm i'm not sure if it was whey protein, i'll check...i'll try the bananas tomorrow - i'm just so hungry i want to eat!!!

 

I'm really sick too...My OB says he has lots of women sick right now...not that it matter when YOU are the one who is miserable. I agree, go to the office and get seen. I've been on the phone several times with them...I'm off to the a family practice doc tomorrow after I developed wheezing in my lungs. I guess since you can't fill your lungs too well when pregnant it pretty easy for infections to set it. Don't let anything really bad happen to you. Your babies are counting on you to take care of yourself. BTW - My OB said Amodium was ok to take for the diarrhea. Here's hoping we all get better really really fast!
