I haven't been on the ibs board since I gave birth to my daughter. Which was 19 months ago. My first pregancy I was ibs free for almost 9 months. This was a blessing! I have severe ibs d for twenty two years now. Needless to say I ate almost everything except milk products and beef(for some reason I couldn't have them even when I was pregant). I was in heaven because my diet was so limited before the pregancy. During my 8 month I develop proctitis. After my daughter was born, between my ibs and proctitis I was in very bad shape. I couldn't take any kind of medicine because I was breastfeeding. For three months I really suffered. There were many times when I breastfed my daughter while I was on the toilet. I did alot of research and finally found a wedsite that a wonderful man created who had proctitis. Anyway, he was on a wheat/gluten free diet plus he juiced veggies. I decided to try it and it worked! The diet was very hard to follow but I was in such pain I would try anything.I notice after a month the bleeding from the proctitis stop and within three months my ibs improved by 90 percent. Sorry This is so long. Anyway I am 9 weeks pregant and sorry to say my ibs is bad. The cramping before bm is the worst. Between m/s and ibs I feel terrible. I am very concerned that something can happened to the baby. I can not take any kind of vitamins because it just goes right through me, I have tried almost every vitamin and prenatal vitamin but I can't stomach them. When I first found out I was pregant I starting juicing veggies to get some vitamins in me but since the morning sickness kicked in I can't even smell the stuff without hurling. I can't eat veggies or fruit, can tolerate milk products. I can't even take calcium for the d because it makes me doubling over from the trapped gas. I also concerned about the shape that I will be in after this baby is born, my daughter will be 2 years old by then. Between two kids, the lack of sleep once this baby is born and not having the time or engery to eat right I am really scared! Does anyone have any advice. ThanksVicki
