I'm no help. I just didn't want you to think you were alone here.
I can eat no matter what and diarrhea would've been welcome instead of the constipation that I had after my first. Does your MW or OB have any insight? I'm sorry. Maybe it's due to the rearranging of all of your internal organs after having baby?? Hope it clears up soon.

I had a bout of it for one night, but am back to normal now. Are you taking any supplements? My mw said alfalfa will give you the runs if taking a lot. So...for constipation, I would take 2 alfalfa pills, once or twice a day. Just fyi...sorry I can't help with the other problem. I bet once everything shifts you'll be back to normal. Have you asked your mw?

you need to take probiotics and accidophulis to balance out your gut. did you get antibiotics???? that will mess with your gut big time, it strips the natural flora and bacteria that u need to keep your system good.

I'm having a ton of gas. But, it comes out so easily compared to before the birth when it was trapped painfully behind the baby's head.

It could be your galbladder acting up.

I had the same thing after ds was born and ended up hospitalized 2x. First with a galbladder attack, the second time with pancreatitis

Thanks for the help ladies, things seem to be much better in the digestion dept now for a few days I think it was my intestines getting rearranged after 9 months of being squished !
