Pregnancy and IBS (TMI, sorry!)
| Sun, 10-23-2011 - 3:02pm |
Since this pregnancy began, I have been either verybadly constipated, or gone the complete opposite direction. I have yet to have what I would consider a "normal" bowel movement! How do I get a grip on this? It seems like when I try to handle the constipation, I go the opposite direction and end up with horrible diarrhea. When I back off and let that even out, I end up constipated again! It's very, very frustrating! Any advice?

Good luck!
Oh man, I just keep getting constipated :( Been increasing my water and take stool softeners and they help alot and found some fiber gummies at Target. I shouldve checked for them sooner, I buy the children's ones for my daughter or she will get constipated, they keep her nice and regular. No advice for the diarrhea, that stinks though because when try and slow that down, probably end up risking constipation again, its like a no win situation
I also have IBS and I"m having the same trouble.

A friend of mine was pregnant last year and she developed a gluten allergy, which caused a lot of the IBS symptoms. She cut out glutens and her G/I problems fixed themselves over about a week.
