Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.

If i were your treating physician i would have done your stool culture and sensitivity to look for any infective cause of diarrhea.then i would have prescribed antibiotic like penicilin group which are safe in pregnancy i e ampicillin 500 mg . I would also prescribe ispaghol husk.i would emphasize on taking ORS or any other preparation to replenish the electrolytes and salts you are loosing from diarrhea.

I would also have done your liver function tests to look for any obstructive pattern as you said the colour of stools is yellow . In liver problems colour of stool becomes pale.

I would suggest you to meet a medical specialist.

Thanks.
Hope the answer is helpful.
Further queries will be appreciated.
Regards
