  I haven't personally taken anything...I've been having more of the, um, opposite problem .  However, my OB recommends Immodium as OK in all three trimesters with the caveat to take it for no more than 2 days.  If you're going on 3 days with symptoms, definitely call your doc.

  I had a nasty stomach bug/diarrhea and my doc said what they do in the hospital is give you a dose of fiber (metamucil at the hospital, fiber supplement of your choice at home) for each episode of diarrhea.  I used Benefiber, and it worked for me, I only had 3 doses.  She said it's b/c fiber absorbs water.  Feel better!

  I have irritable bowel syndrome and every now and then have to take immodium.  I usually try to take just one pill though as it can swing you back the other way too!!  Good luck!

  when most women were barfing in  the first tri I had diarrhea instead.  I never took anything for it.  I was told to take lots of fluids (I really found the pedialyte popsicles helpful with both the diarrhea and the nausea) and to follow a bland diet until it returned to normal...
  Oh and as a pp mentioned, fibre rich foods are good too (even though ppl assume it will have an opposite effect)
