anyone else got the opposite of constipation?

Hi
I'm 21 weeks and I've got (sorry if TMI) loose bowls and seem to be going about four times a day and have the most awful farts. I think it is making me more exhausted!
Anyone else? I had a gastro bug that caused diarrhoea but latest test shows it is all gone.
Any ideas to help slow it down? Seeing GP again tomorrow

I had something similar. The Mumsnet massive told me it was because my bowel was being squashed up by growing baby and didn't have room for anything harder!

me too - it passed (so to speak ) in a week or two..just made sure kept fluid intake up

[Littlemisskiwi]

Thanks both.
I've had it for ages and just feeling a bit weary of all these symptoms. Baby isn't that big yet is it? Crickey!
trying with fluids but still feel a big sick so difficult to get enough fluids in...

I wish i had!!!!
Sorry im crippled with belly ache and just taking fybogel and lactolose as we speak!!

wellbalanced -you tried some actimel or other kind of lactobifidus supplement ? sorted me out (had both types of problem )

[wellbalanced]

Take actimel every morning, eat and drink well and nothing seems so budge it!!
Been docs 2day so hoping the fybogel and lactolose work-but they taste disgusting!!!
Thanks
