Seems like everything I eat is making me feel sick! Could it be IBS?

Hi ladies, Can anyone shed some light?

It seems that I eat something and I feel sick, nauseated, bloated and tired. Not sure where this is coming from as it literally has hit me in just the last 2 days? It might be breads, rice and milk? Is it possible to "get" Irritible Bowel Syndrome in pregnancy? Last night the only thing to relieve the pain in my abdomen was a heated up wheat bag. Should I go to the Doctor or does stuff like this happen in pregnancy? Never had it with DS and never had an issues with IBS symptoms before so it has taken me by surprise!?

Turns out that you can have indigestion without the normal heartburn. Apparently my upset tummy is indigestion

I guess that's right. Your digestive slows right down when your pg so it could come out as all different sorts of yucky Oh the joys. I guess you might have to just try to work out what causes the least amount of damage when you eat and stick to that.

glad you have an answer Blondie. I have IBS and just deal with diarrhea after eating, if I am not on my medication.

yeah my stomach is so touchy at the moment. All I could eat yesterday was a few rice cakes, some apple and a mintie or 2. I have taken the meds the Doc prescribed and they seem to be working....i'm still being really cautious though.

Thanks for your concern ladies
