Sooo... how many of you lovely ladies are feeling like they might die from all this terrible gas and constipation??? omg... it's becoming horrible for me! I get so super backed up and  the gas is making me having the WORST cramps ever! Anyone have tips on what to do for this? I know there are meds I can take for it, but I'd rather stayy away from them. I have been eating plenty of fruits and veggies... it's like all I crave. lol. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! TIA!

    yes! And the only thing that seems to work for me is acidophilus. Love that stuff!

    I have a lot of gas and bloating... Did not want to take meds either... I try and stay away from gassy veggies such as broccoli (which I love and eat regularly) since a friend of mine told me to... And drink a lot of water! That helps!

    I eat a few dried apricots everyday and it works wonders!

    I had constipation problems anyway...always have.  Colace was a Godsend.

    A small glass of prune juice mixed with apple juice.  I had the same issues and this worked like a charm.

    Thanks ladies!!! I will definitely give some of these a try! Like I said, I eat tons of fruits and veggies every day and I do drink lots of water. But goodness! I can't get this gas and horrible bloat to go away to save my life. Lol! Thanks for all of the ideas!

    Colace has seriously saved my life.  I take two a day.

    Same here. It's so bad I can't sleep on my back! Yikes! In a emergency I drink a cup of coffee with a little cocoa for taste. (Which im doing right now.)I don't normally drink coffee so it gets me moving! Previous pregnancy COLACE was a GODSEND.
