You don't mind the smell of your own

But even I was gagging last night.
Is there anything I can take for this incessant gas?
My poor DH.
Also, is there anything I can take for the constipation that is undoubtedly causing this issue?
And is there anything my husband can take that will help him to understand that farting in my sleep is not INTENTIONAL!

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

the only sure thing thats worked for me w/constipation is 2 colace every night and a daily dose of either the citrucel or metamucil drink (not the pills!)...if I skip the drink thngs get backed up again ...oh and lots of water

No advice, just sympathy
it's repuslive but can't be helped, and I guess it's all for a good cause

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

He he.. one of the wonderful byproducts of pregnancy... I had constipation badly also and nothing worked for me, including colace. Finally, I tried a high fiber diet and I am regular!... I eat a bowl of Fiber One honey clusters every morning with a cup on raisins on top... and it works like a charm... but you need to make sure you have it every morning and not skip!... I promise it is worth it!.... :) Good luck!

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

UGH!
I will have to try the metamucil or Colace- is Colace by prescription?
I already drink well over a gallon of water a day, and eat a high fiber diet (thank you, life of weight watchers!)

Now to fix the husband...

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

I take Colace 2 x a day. I have also noticed that fresh figs and kiwis help the cause. My other favorite fruit watermelon helps things along.

Hope you feel better

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

Heeheehee milk of magnesia works for the constipation...that helped me a lot, and i believe collace is over the counter.

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

eek.

this thread loosened things up for me.



All better!

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

That's funny!!

I am not PG, at least not yet. I am TTC and find your stories on this board funny and educational.

Anyway, I am an expert on constipation (unfortunately) I've been suffering from it since I was a baby (so my mom says). And I've tried everything from colace to metamucil etc. I have two words for all of you ladies suffering from it FLAX SEEDS! It works like a dream and is really healthy for you. You can buy them at any health food store or at GNC. I buy the actual seeds and chew them, works better for me. You can also buy it ground up already and dust it on top of yogurt or cereal etc.. Hope this helps and happy healthy 9 months!

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

Totally buying flax seeds.
I eat the yummiest wrap with lunch- its flax. And delish.

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

You can also try prunes if you like them. They are actually good! Like big juicy raisins

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

I used to take Fiber Choice pills daily. They even worked for me when I had to take iron pills (Imagine being constipated from pregnancy and then I had to take iron pills to make me even more constipated).

Re: You don't mind the smell of your own

for constipation:

take colace
eat fiber cereal
eat canned pure pumpkin (not the pre-spiced pie filling. only a few teaspoons a day is all).

I don't have the gas issues but I will say this: If I did, I most certainly would mind the smell of my own.
