Don't use any over the counter medications, especially since you think you may be pregnant. You should consult your physician. In the meantime, be sure to drink lots of fluids to avoid dehydration, which can create problems.

3 days is a long time....
If you are pregnant you need to see your doctor A.S.A.P.
Usually Gravol will help with Diarreha, and eating allot of dry thing like crackers and dry toast. Try drinking Ginger Ale without the gas (just stir it up until almost all the bubbles are gone - they can upset the stomach), as the Ginger helps calm the stomach if you have any cramping.
Stay way from acidic food like tomatoes and fruit for awhile, and anything fried.

First, I would find out of you're pregnant or not. There are a lot of medications out there that can affect the baby. However, you shouldn't try and stop the diarrhea, it will go away on it's own. If you aren't pregnant, you can try OTC Imetrol. It comes in a blue box with a rainbow on it.

As much Cayenne pepper in a quarter glass of water as you can stand. Everything will get real solid. Works for me when I get food poisoning. If the pepper thing don't work see your doctor.

Just wait it out, if it lasts any longer though without signs of slowing run to a doctor.
Make sure to drink pedialite or powerade or somesuch to keep your electrolytes up.
