Haven’t gone #2 in 4 days, nauseous before I eat but the metal taste in my mouth makes food gross to me, haven’t been able to get comfortable at night so I’m tired, and my back hurts... hopefully the 2nd trimester will be better
@karla_little, just read your labels. Over the counter ones you may need to take double the dose recommended because half the cultures will die in your stomach before making it to your intestines. I am partial to the Plexus ProBio5 (which I promote and sell), because they freeze dry theirs so that you get what you both need and have paid for. Plus the capsule is made from vegetables and not silicone or some other chemical. Plus it has an enzyme to break down yeast overgrowth and truly heal. But it is not sold in stores, and I know not everyone likes that, so I always say, read the labels. If you would like me to go into more detail or learn about the other products from Plexus, you can always send me a message and I can tell you how just the probiotic has changed my health. I truly believe in education, not pushing products. I hope this helped!
Start taking a probiotic, it will help your bowels get more regular. And drink lots of water!! Still needs water to make it go easier thru your bowels. Drink half your body weight in ounces a day.
