How To Treat Gas Formation And Loose Motion During Second Trimester?

Hi, I am 19 weeks pregnant and having gas formation and loose motions for past 1 week. My doctor prescribed me Econorm powder to be taken for 2 days ( 1 sach each). I tried that but its not helping. So I took some additional dose for another 2-3 days of Econorm. But its still not curing my stomach upset issue. I am worried if taking Econorm has side effects on my baby? What other alternative I can try apart from this medicine. I am taking light food like Curd rice, butter milk etc, but its still not helping me. Please advise. Thanks.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion take food in small quantities every 2 hourly.Avoid spicy and oily diet and continue bland diet.Dont worry econorm doesn't harm the baby.Consult doctor to rule out any gut infection.You might need antibiotics course incase if any infection is there.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres with electrol powder and coconut water to prevent dehydration.
