There are a lot of things about pregnancy or the month after giving birth that they don’t tell you. Sure, I’m sure that you can find it out in one of the many pregnancy books, but you are either too excited about those two pink lines or so sleep deprived from your new little one that you miss it.
When I was pregnant with Little E I had all sorts of digestive issues. I almost constantly was bloated or in some sort of stomach pain. I asked my OBGYN about it and she actually told me what I was experiencing was totally normal.
Apparently, pregnancy hormones slow down digestion which can lead to constipation — oh, the joys of pregnancy!
To help the situation, I started taking a fiber supplement, in particular Citrucel. I continued taking Citrucel even after I had my son, through the postpartum digestions issues, and have made it a regular part of my diet.
Citrucel has a pleasant taste and isn’t gritty like some other fiber supplements. There is even a sugar free formula. However, both formulas are non-allergenic as well as gluten free.
