TMI question about digestion - advice? « Back to Group Discussions

[MarieWalter]

TMI alert!

Sorry, everyone, but I've looked online for suggestions and am not finding anything good - maybe some of you who've been through this whole "early pregnancy fun ride" have advice? I have both constipation and diarrhea, sometimes within an hour of each other. I can't see trying foods or OTC fixes for one because of unintended effects on the other. Anyone know of something that can help me reach, ah, a happy medium?

I can't seem to isolate anything in my diet or habits that affects this. Most days I'm just a little constipated, but every few days it's back and forth. Ugh, goddess speed me an uneventful second trimester :p

Thanks for reading, you brave souls :)

No advice, but I have days like that too. I just try to get through it, as I know its just for a few weeks.

I'd try probiotics, but they haven't helped me that much this time. Yes, I'm anxiously awaiting the second trimester because this is not the most fun I've ever had.
