Vent (Long and TMI)

in High-Risk Pregnancy

Hey all...I need some reassurance here!  I have been in the hosp twice now for IV fluids!  I can't keep anything in me...I have such horrible diahrrea that it is wiping me out!  I have lost weight and the the severity of the diahrrea doesn't matter if I have eaten or not!  I try my best to drink all the clear fluids I can...my DH and I think we should own stock in Gatorade after this pregnancy!

The doctors don't know what is wrong, LO seems to be hanging in there just fine, but it still makes me very nervous all of the time!  We go see a GI doctor next friday, so maybe we can get some answers then!  I just hope all of this isn't going to do anything to the LO!

My doctors in my OB group don't seem to be too concerned about the baby, the heartbeat is perfect and at the last u/s everything seemed to be right in place!

Has anyone delt with this?!?!  or something similar?!  Let me know and thanks for listening!

    I don't have any experience with this in my pregnany, but I did get really sick a few years ago (like really sick) and was in the ER after severe dehydration, and the doctors told me to completely cut out all gatorade. It has a ton of sugar in it, which actually makes you more dehydrated when you're already dehydrated. Try and ONLY drink water if you can, I know it's hard and doesn't taste good to top it off, but you could be making things worse. I hope you feel better soon, and am so glad baby is ok.

    Do they think you have some kind of bug that is causing it or something else?  I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease last year and severe diahrrea with cramping  (and bleeding) was the main symptom...Hopefully your GI doc will be able to do some tests and give you some answers.  Hang in there!

    Is it "Celiac's Disease"??  My dad had your exact symptoms (minus the whole being pregnant thing, ha-ha) and doctors couldn't figure it out for a decade until he switched doctors after having the symptoms and the second doctor diagnosed him in 10 minutes.  You have to cut out all wheat and barley products.

    Hope this helps?
