My understanding is that any major stress on the body can potentially
cause a dip in milk supply, although this is obviously something that
would vary from woman to woman. So, a woman who is going through a
period of severe diarrhoea and no food intake might see her milk supply
dipping, especially someone who is feeding twins and thus needing to
provide a lot of milk anyway. I'm not saying this will necessarily
happen, but I would be very surprised if there was no chance of it
happening, so I think it makes sense to be prepared.
