Pascalite clay for diarrhea? (pregnant)

[chicoandthemama]

Hi Mamas,

The same day I found out I am pregnant, I cooked and ate some pastured bacon that my husband later told me he had left out of refrigeration for a day.
I have since had very watery diarrhea, four days now, and with the nausea and inability to eat much due to the early pregnancy I am miserable. I just remembered the pascalite clay I have in the cupboard and took about a quarter tsp with water, is there more I could be doing that is pregnancy safe? Is the pascalite a good choice for this? If so, how much to dry me up? Or do I just stay hydrated and wait it out? I have also been taking my homemade raw goat kefir and sauerkraut every day in small amounts...
TIA!

Congratulations on your babe on the way!
Sorry you're feeling icky.
It sounds like you are doing all the right stuff. I think the clay is great.
I would get some homeopathic Nux Vomica (saved my life during morning sickness during my pregnancies!) also helps w/ diarrhea.

Bananas help also.
Try to stay hydrated as much as possible. I always need a bit more water when taking clay also. Plus you need lots when pregnant. You don't want to be dehydrated. I would try the Nux.
Good luck!

Thanks Sandymom!
Luckily I am loving my nettle tea still...and the liquids are going down fine...

late to the game but I'd suggest looking at homeopathic arsenicum in this situation. For the pascalite I would probably personally take 1/2 tsp in water 2-3 times a day until symptoms passed. If I needed more, I would up it but generally that would be enough.

Thanks Panserbjorne!
I started the pascalite after 3 days in, just the amount recommended in the package, which is 1/4 tsp 2x day, and it has helped. I will increase until the grumbling stops. I am heading out for the homeopathics today...
