Default Diarrhea remedies safe for expecting mummies?

My little girl is due on Sunday so this week I switched her over to a canned dog food with lots of meat in it (thinking the extra protein and calories might be good for her). Well of course my little boy (daddy) sees everything so I always gave him a small portion of it as well since I couldn't give her "The good stuff" and not him lol.

Anyways STUPID mistake to switch their food so suddenly, both have developed horrible frequent nasty diarrhea and have had it over the past 2-3 days. Needless to say I have stopped with the canned food and left them to eat their puppy kibble but is there anything I can give them to add some bulk to their stools? (particularly something SAFE for a dog about to give birth that won't upset her stomach farther?).

My mother in law always suggested to hold of the doggie food for a half a day or so and then slowly increase portions to let their stomachs settle - but at this time in her pregnancy I don't want to deprive her of anything she needs.

Please help, they stink, my little boy got poop in his hair right on his forehead (dont ask me how), I've been bathing them twice a day and they still have poo-butts, plus I don't want to aggravate my expecting mama and my house stinks like something awful - I've had ENOUGH poo for this week.

Oh - and both are getting plenty of water, I've been making sure that they get enough (when I boiled some chicken I added some of that water to theirs so that it tasted good - not sure if this is making it even worse! but at least they are drinking.
