constant headaches! enliven side affect??

[dee79]

Hi there,

just wondering if anyone can help me with a suspicion i think may be causing my relentless headaches.

i've been taking the blackmores p&bf gold since day dot (im 15 weeks now) and last week i started with the probiotic fast tract ( which was great - instant energy hit) for a few days and then began the course of enliven combined with the fast tract (only 1/2 tsp every morning). i had mild headaches every now and then before that which sleep used to take care of but since starting the enliven 2 days ago i've had it worse all day.

could it be too much taking the multi vitamin aswell? besides the headaches i have really felt the benefits of enliven as i had chronic IBS before pregnancy and this has helped in a big way. i really don't want to stop taking it if i can help it...

grateful for any info,

Dee

You could have a detox headache from it, but that would only be initially when you first start taking it. Are you drinking enough water? you should ideally be drinking 2lts of water a day.

Hi Trillian,
Thanx for your reply! well i do drink heaps of water 2-3 litres a day but you could be right about the detox headache. i had them when i took inliven for 2 days, went off it for a day and had no headache and today have started at only 1/4 tsp instead of half to see how i go.
detox headaches pass right?

yes, they do pass, just make sure that you keep drinking the water and don't overdo it.
