Upset stomach Issues post partum

TBsquared

anyone else having stomach issues post partum? I have had 3 different episodes of having stomach cramps, gas and loose
Stools. I thought I had caught a bug the first time but since it's happened 2 more times I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with hormones?

I had ppd diarrhea until 3 weeks. Same symptoms as yours. I think my was because the bacteria in my stomach wasn't right from th antibiotics. Taking Metamucil helped mine. Last couple days I've had cramps due to ovulation, maybe yours is that too.

I also had pp diarrhea for a few weeks and also believe it was due to antibiotics i received. I have noticed however, that my stomach is MUCH more sensitive now. I have felt nauseous on multiple occasions (which has lead me to take a pregnancy test on multiple occasions!) but luckily always negative, and I never actually get sick. Just more sensitive I guess.

I can't drink my normal coffee anymore without needing a bathroom. It SUCKS!! I'm not a huge coffee person anyway and it was the only one I liked.

I didn't get any antibiotics, but it's kind of reassuring to know I'm not alone! I was starting to think I had IBS or something!! I wonder if probiotics would help?

I haven't had upset stomach issues per se, however, now when I have to go to the bathroom I HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW I CANNOT WAIT!  I've actually been rocking DD to sleep and had to put her down to go to the bathroom and then come back and finish rocking her.  My body just cannot hold it in for any length of time.

I've always had issues so I haven't noticed a huge difference post partum. But I have done the same thing @erin79. Or even worse I've been partway through feeding DS and had to take him off the boob so I could run to the washroom. It's the worst listening to him scream because I made him stop.

I had to do that last night when I was rocking LO to sleep, it sucked cuz I had to start all over again because she wasn't fully asleep but I HAD to go!

I'm 14 weeks pp and have been have stomach problems for a couple of weeks now. When we were at the urgent care pediatrics (Projectile vomitting scare... Ftm) last night, the dr asked if anyone was sick in the house and my husband looked at me. Then I told this woman I had just met, "I've been having diarrhea like crazy lately... But I do drink a lot of coffee...hahahah" and now I'm telling a forum. No shame since giving birth.

This is exactly what is happening to me. My diet hasnt changed. Im 13 weeks PP. I have been stressing out because I am feeling so off. Dr said i may have developed a food intolerance. Nice to know im not alone!
