Wtf? Diarrhea one day, constipation the next, then repeat?

Seriously is anyone else having a flip flop intestinal track? One day I have diarrhea, the next day or two I am constipated. Then it seems normal one day. Then right back to diarrhea and a complete repeat of the cycle. Am I the only one?

Re: Wtf? Diarrhea one day, constipation the next, then repeat?

  • Yes! I have had diarrhea for the past three days, and I was wondering what in hades was going on. Last week it was the opposite. The week before that, just like this week. You are not alone.

  • Thanks for the sympathy! Here is hoping we both get straightened out soon.
  • Yes! Last pregnancy I had diarrhea 7-9 times daily. This time around I keep going back and forth from diarrhea to constipation. I don't know which one is worse.

  • I feel guilty saying I am relieved to know I am not the only one, but it is a miserable thing!
  • I am exactly the same! When I'm constipated I get uncomfortable pains and gas in my stomach. Then the next thing I have dioreha and I feel totally wiped out. I've never been sick though, just occasionally nauseas. Are you ladies having this and being sick? I wondered if it was a symptom of no sickness?
  • Same here! Mine's made worse because my doctor has me taking Metformin for PCOS (insulin resistance). I'll be blocked and bloated for a day or two and then (middle of the night usually) be stuck in the bathroom for a while. So uncomfortable!

    I've been like this with every single pregnancy...Its so frustrating!

    As weird as it may sound this is actually an indication of pregnancy for me since it starts early on.

  • Yup. But, even when I do have the runs, I still feel constipated and unsatisfied with my bowel movement. This is one of my first symptoms with every pregnancy. I am more constipated than usual this time.

  • Yes completely feel the same way!
  • I'm doing the same thing. I flip flop with no regular pattern. I didn't know diarrhea was apart of the pregnancy equation. :/
  • Yeppppp. Currently on my 3rd trip to the bathroom since trying to go to bed tonight.
