Please help...

Hello. I am 8 weeks pregnant and am feeling awful.  Today I have had diarrhea and severe pains in my rib cage, which I believe could be trapped wind or indigestion. Can anyone suggest anything that can make this stop?  It is making me so miserable!

try drinking alot of water and avoiding gasey foods such as bananas, cabbage, broccoli etc. for the next little bit.  I just went through it all (I'm 14 weeks tomorrow).  Tums helped a bit and so did Maalox.

Im sorry. You could try tums for the indigestion. Those are safe and Tylenol is fine to take during pregnancy. Hope you feel better soon!
