Digestive Problem...

[ArnieBoy]

Hard to talk about!!!...
I'm not sure if its to do with my low iron but I haven't done a solid number 2 pretty much since I fell pregnant and recently I've had a very un-settled stomach for about two weeks. Because I'm constintly having the runs its iratating my anal area causing it to burn extremely bad and lately I've been bleeding when the area is iratated too much. I do know that it is also an extremely off colour (sometimes green sometimes grey) because of my low iron.
To keep my stomach calm I drink a glass of milk which seems to help (I was lactose intollerant but since falling preg I've had no side effects). Its when I eat something (nothing in particular) my stomach is un-settled to the point where I'm affraid to eat all together.
Does anyone here have a similar problem? Or knows of ways I can help myself?...

Have you seen your dr about it? I haven't experienced what you're going through and it sounds horrible for you:( .....my dr told me to have psyllium husks with an OJ to keep me regular - that was in the very beginning - i didn't end up trying it because I got very sick very quickly and didn't keep much down.

Are you taking vitamin supplements (the preggie ones)? Try to keep your fluids up and get lots of fibre if you can...but I'd go see you're doc about it - just to ease your worries and make you feel a bit better.....Sorry I can't be much help.

Hi im only 7 weeks pregnant but ive found the same problem and its really uncomfortable!! i find though that rubbing my tummy can help the pain or discomfort but thats about all I can think of my doctor just said its just bloatedness, but i dont know.
Also this sounds kinda wierd but i got this qv cream for irritated and itchy skind which is safe to use down there too, which i have been using after a shower and it eases the burning and irritating, maybe you could try something like that. if i find out anymore tips ill let you know =)
