What Causes Loose Stools With Giddiness During Pregnancy?

Hello Doctor, I am in 6th month of my pregnancy. From past 3 months, I am suffering from loose stools(semi solid, Atleast 6 times a day). Baby growth seems to be fine. But when ever I eat, with in few minutes I had to go to rest room. And feeling giddiness, weakness all the day. I had been taking barley water regularly, But no improvement. As I am moving to my 3rd trimester, I am getting more worried now. Could you please suggest what should I do. Any home remedies. Thanks, Devi

Dear madam,I understand your concern.in my opinion you may be having gastrointestinal infection as you are saying u need to go for restroom soon after taking food.you can try the home remedies like taking ghee in food,taking cooked sago grains.but better you consult your ObGy for treatment as you may need antibiotics for the infection.but in addition to above you should take upto 3 litres of fluids like water, fruit juices, coconut water.otherwise you will be dehydrated and that in turn will result in urine infection,giddiness and weakness.but don't worry relax as this is not a serious thing.and have a happy pregnancy.
