Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my name is brittnay and I know this is a little too much information but im 13 weeks pregnant and have been pooping oily orange poos. Im currently taking zofran(half of 8mg) because I could barely keep any food down. I was also told to stop taking my prenatal vitamins for a few weeks. Is my child and I ok? Or should I go see a doctor? This has never happened before so im embarrassed.
Hello. In general, this means a rapid transport of food through the intestines and, in general, nothing serious. But if it continues beyond a week, you should see your doctor for a stool sample for cultures since then it may be a bacterial enteritis that requires a round of oral antibiotics
