I have really severe IBS where I am either C or having D. I am looking to start a family in the next six to eight months. And I am worried that severe IBS could affect my baby. Is there any help on dealing with IBS and pregancy?

Yes you can. BUT, I'd strongly advise you meet with a local dietitian that specialized in prenatal AND IBS.You want to be in the best nutritional condition that you can be. So, looking into your folic acid, b-vitamin, Calcium status (for starters) would be good.

Yup. I did. My IBS was great during pregnancy (until the very end). The nutritionist I met with took blood tests and determined that my hematocrit (iron) and Vitamin A were low - everything else was peachy. Abby is almost six weeks old and asleep in my lap as I type this.

Absolutley. In fact I think having a baby helped my IBS decrease. I have a four month old and all I had was C towards the end of my pregnancy, but I think most moms to be are. I had alternating mild IBS before and before that I had terrible alternating IBS until I used Mike's tapes.Don't let IBS stop you!
