TMI but anyone having gas pains???

I'm 4 days from the 12 week mark and have started to notice some lactose intolerance; which I normally don't have. I'm also having a TON of gas pain...like distention. My tummy is swollen and hard to the touch. Is anyone else experiencing this? It is so uncomfortable and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get just a bit of relief? I know the little tiny is worth all of this!!!!

    Bad, especially with zofran. I take colase & was told I can take gasx also if I need to.

    I think if you search gas pains there's an old thread where people had some remedies? I know one of them was a glass of warm/hot water with a tbsp of apple cider vinegar.... Supposedly that helps! I've had super bad gas pains a couple times in the last few weeks so next time I'm going to try the vinegar.

    Yes all the time! Which can be quite concerning because sometimes it feels like regular cramps. So painful.

    I feel the same way! I was never lactose intolerant before pregnancy, but I'm definitely on that track. My doc said it was ok to take Lactaid pills when eating dairy. It helps a bit.

    That's so weird cause I was lactose intolerant before I got pregnant and now I eat cheese and milk all day with no problems! I thought it would help with the constipation but I still have too take a stool softener. But as far as gas I do get bad has sometimes when I get anything slightly greasy. I take gas x and it really helps.

    That sounds more like constipation. Even if you go regularly you can still get backed up, causing that hardness. Lactose intolerance can definitely be a culprit. We battle that here with oatmeal, prunes and apricots and real apple juice (not from concentrate). Clear yourself out and see if you feel better!

    Yes! Terrible gas pains and awful constipation!

    I'm adding some prunes to my diet STAT and also some Miralax or Colace to see if it helps.

    Yes, the pains have been SHOCKING at points. Veggies, esp Broccoli have seemed to be the culprit. So i'm getting my greens through green juices.

    Oh thank you ladies; it's so nice to know I'm not alone; although I don't want any of us to be in pain! Saw my doc yesterday and she suggested Tums or the Mylicon drops. She also said to cut out the salads for now. Interested in trying the apple cider vinegar too!!
