I had it diagnosed in my early 20's. When i was pg with ds i found all my syptoms dissappeared and didnt return until he was nearly 1. I remember my Ob telling me it was common for it to clear up while pregnant. Unfortunatly though this time nothing has changed. I'm 14 weeks and still having frequent episodes . My Dr isnt concerned but like Mel, i have have to resort back to inner health plus tablets too and i have found they have helped a little. Its horrible isnt it?
I have IBS and even though I only make it to nearly 8 weeks, there was a huge improvement nearly right away. Most things pass right through me (sorry) but while pregnant it stopped, so the constipation thing worked quite well for me.
Can't imagine how bad it would be if you were normally constipated tho... And I don't have it very bad either, and the IBS support tablets usually fix it, when I bother to take them.
Mine is currently worse during this pregnancy. I'm still after all these years trying to figure out what my triggers are, but I know hormones definitely play a role. I've had a particularly bad episode tonight so I feel dreadful. It completely cleans me out and the cramping is so awful. It does make me worry about little bubs in there.
