Anyone have gastro issues get worse or begin post-baby?
Since I had DS, I've had horrible stomach issues - was diagnosed with IBS and am taking medicine for it and also have such horrible heartburn, I am dying. I only had heartburn a handful of times while PG and now it's awful!!! I've been taking some OTC medicine but I think I need something stronger!!!
Anyone else?

ME! Everything I eat goes right through me and sends me running for the bathroom. My stomach cramps up so bad. When we go out I dont even eat because I dont want to have to go to the bathroom in public or at someone's house

Re: Anyone have gastro issues get worse or begin post-baby?
I have a bad stomach, but not on meds. I was prescribed a while ago and now I just really watch what I eat... or else 
During pregnancy I went to the bathroom twice a day. I had the opposite when girls were saying they were constipated.
Now, PP... it seems ok. Pretty much the normal bad stomach so really watching what I eat. Doesn't sound as bad as yours  sorry you're going through it.
I also get heartburn once in a while, which I never got b4 being pregnant.

I have always had a bad stomach. It is ten times worse now. I had acid reflux so bad for 3 months that I went through 3 different medications before we nipped it in the butt. I get sick at least once a week. I eat less now then ever before. I am still suffering from constipation. It is horrible...

Yes, after my second baby it is soooo much worse. The heartburn, indigestion and gas is horrible. I am 7 months pp, and it is so bad, I barely eat.

I have been getting really bad heartburn since I gave birth. I thought it was supposed to go away!

Re: Anyone have gastro issues get worse or begin post-baby?
I'm so sorry so many of us are going through this! My GI told me that IBS will often appear after a major event happens in the body (like pregnancy/childbirth)
For those of you have severe issues with diarrhea, maybe see a gastro. I'm taking a medication called Welchol now and it's helping SO much!

Re: Anyone have gastro issues get worse or begin post-baby?
Yep , you know I'm dealing with it. Did you have a colonoscopy ? I really am tryign to avoid it ( I'm a wimp) ....
I had a bad go of it, was just starting to feel better and then Mothers Day brunch upset my stomach and I have been paying for it ever since.
I 100% know this is PG/ C/S related.
