Birth Control Pills work when you have diarrhea?

Yes. You only have to worry about vomiting. Call a pharmacist or the nurse hotline on the back of your insurance card (if you have one) to confirm.

I don't have one
The verywellhealth web page said this:
Diarrhea affects how well your body absorbs foods, liquids, and medications. Instead of being taken up into the bloodstream, they are lost in the stool.

If the active ingredients in your birth control pills aren't absorbed through your intestines, they won't do the job they were designed to do.

I don't think it affects, I haven't had that bad diarrhea but it did last for a few days so now I'm scared

Use back-up birth control methods (condoms) until you can sort it out with your doctor.

Yes, because the active ingredients don’t act on your gastrointestinal system.

Ask doctor. They should work fine.
