cramps and wind

[Ginnymarie]

hi guys

i know this has been posted like a zillion times but I can't get over how crampy, windy and generally iffy my bowels are. Yes, I suspected constipation but not the other. My mam thinks the root ginger drink I am making is too strong and it upsetting my tummy. The wind pains and smells sorry if TMI are so bad I am thinking of sleeping in another room away from poor hubbie.


anyone else had this quite bad ?x

I haven't really suffered a great deal with wind (no more than usual!) but I guess it may be worth looking at what food you are eating. Eating slowly often helps, cut down on fizzy drinks, avoid too many pulses (beans etc), eating one of those bio yoghurts or having one of the bio drinks might be worth a try. Also peppermint tea is good for the digestion.

My advice....find a quiet farting corner and let it out...hurts more when u hold it in...s*d everyone else...your preggers!!!

thanks
yes I will take a look at my diet, it is pretty bad actually as I am off so many healthy foods. I can try eating yogurt again as I went off it in forst few weeks.
Will def try the peppermint tea
thanks

Keep away from bread, esp white bread but if you have to eat it, try wholemeal.

Try to keep away from wheat/starch foods, this can cause the wind and constipation.

Eat a lot of fruits but not bananas

drink LOTS of water

Eat more veg and greens i.e. salads

If you're eating meats that you cooked, try grilled but not fried

And most important, don't forget to take your vitamins!

Hopefully, that will help you xx

I'm having the same problems. I am very constipated, and when I DO poop, it''s either rock hard or runny... LMAO TMI. I am constantly full of "wind", that seems to retreat whenever I try to push it out.

I got it around 8 weeks too and totally stunk, went away on it's own tho

My tummy feels more bloated than usual etc too.
