I need to know what to do for gas cramps while pregnant. I feel like passing wind, but cannot
seem to get it all out. It causes belly aches.
Sometimes antacids are all you can do. What are you eating that is giving you so much
gas?
Pretty much anything causes me to bloat up. I am not gassy when I first wake up, but from
breakfast to dinner I am a tootin machine.
Sometimes drink some carbonated soda and burping helps relieve some pressure.
Sounds like a great reason to indulge in some root beer!
Yeah, go with non-caffinated if you can, that would be the safest bet. If you are not a
soda person, have some hot lemon water to get things moving.
Does using a heating pad help?
You don't want to heat your core temperature up too high, or put a heating pad anywhere
near your belly.
Is it normal to have so many gas cramps during pregnancy?
Oh yes, you would be surprised! Farting and pregnancy go hand in hand.
At least I know I am not the only one! Maybe that pregnancy glow everyone talks about is
really a gas cloud follwing me around.
Also, eat some yogurt. The digestive enzymes and friendly bacteria will help keep your
gas pains at bay.
Is there any foods that I should avoid, that might make the gas cramps worse?
Stay away from broccoli, asparagus and too many leafy greens.
Those are supposed to be healthy!
They are, but if you cannot digest it properly, there are alternatives that can nourish you
and keep your tummy happy.
