How Can Abdominal Bloating During Pregnancy Be Treated?
My doctor has advised me to take Rabiplus D for acidity. I am 14th weeks pregnant. I am suffering from gas problem for the first time in my pregnancy during last three days. But I have found Rabiplus D is safety for pregnant women. Yesterday night I took eno. I am also suffering from vomiting and stool problem. I have a pain in the upper abdomen. Can I take Digene Liquid?

Hi. Welcome to health care magic. I understand your concern. Pregnancy hormones cause decreased motility of intestines...thus food moves slowly in digestive tract... remains in intestines for longer time ... resulting in mal digestion &excessive gas production .water gets absorbed in large intestine.. making the stiols dry &hard.. thus causing constipation. To avoid this few lifestyle changes help.-Digiene liquid will give temporary relief but change in lifestyle prwvent the problem - have salads/vegetabkes/fruits in plenty.(fibers) -Drink lot of water (12glasses in 24hour)minimum apart from other liquid diet.Avoid more water after 7 pm to reduce troublesum night visits to toilet. -Eat multiple small servings - with a 3 hours gap.. making it 5-6servings in a day.Avoid spicy or oily food .. alcohol. -Avoid sleeping immediately after food intake -Regular light exercises like walking,yoga &pranayama.. do help. Thanks.
