Pregnant... diarrhea from food or hormones?

Hmm, good question. It's hard because with pregnancy, 1/3 get better, 1/3 stay the same, 1/3 get worse. Since your period would cause symptoms, I wonder if pregnancy is. Could you cut out the yogurt for a week or so and see what happens?

It's important to make sure you stay hydrated. That can cause flares so easily. With my pregnancy, I ended up with hyperemesis really badly the entire pregnancy and had to get daily IV fluids to stay hydrated for most of it. My OB, GI, and high risk OB all said that a flare could easily cause a miscarriage. I am not trying to scare you, but I really think you need to stay in close contact with your OB and GI. Has your OB referred you to a high risk OB?

I think that since you are pregnant you should be fast-tracked to see specialists. I know it's different there, but with pregnancies it's not something you can just play around with. Can you call your regular OB and your GI? Just get advice over the phone or see if you can get squeezed in earlier? In the meantime, take out the yogurt and see what happens. I am honestly not that familiar with Greek yogurt - is there sugar in it? Sometimes sugar can irritate the colon. Are you on a prenatal vitamin? I get the gummy ones, they don't make me throw up. See if they can run some blood work on all of your vitamin levels (iron, vitamin B, vitamin D, along with the normal CBC and such).

Have you been on prednisone before? As a last resort, they could maybe give you a lower dose (like 20 mg) to help temporarily. It's not ideal for more than a couple of weeks because it can interfere with how the baby's glands develop (although it's good for the last week or two of pregnancy if you are going to have to deliver early to help the baby's lungs develop more quickly, especially for boys).

Everything is going to be okay. The fact that it's just some D is really okay, especially since you are doing your best to stay hydrated. Throw in some Pedialyte or something, or even just gatorade (if the sugars don't bother you) instead of just water if you feel like you're struggling. Plain water made me sick. I would fill up a gallon pitcher of Kool-aid each day and make sure to drink the whole thing by the end of the day. But I watered it down a lot: just one pack of Kool-aid (instead of two) and half a cup of sugar (instead of a whole cup per package).

I am so sorry. :( If it helps, I was on Remicade my entire pregnancy and it was just fine. Other than the beginning with hydration issues, I was in great remission the whole time. Remicade is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. After the baby is born then depending on timing of infusions there may be a few extra safety precautions to take, but it's really very minor.
