Question
Can I take oral rehydration salt powder if I have mild diarrhea at 5 weeks pregnant?
Answer
Yes, you can take oral rehydration salt powder. It is recommended to reduce the intake of legumes and high-fiber vegetables, and instead eat easily digestible congee soups, and increase your activity level. Consuming foods like hawthorn and yeast can help with absorption. Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy may be caused by intestinal flora imbalance or catching a cold, and can be relieved through rehydration salts or by taking Lactobacillus sporogenes probiotic capsules.
