Just wondering is anyone had digestive issues after birth? My baby is 14 week since he is born i am having digestive issue. I had severe constipation which cause lots of bleeding from bowel movements and i was on laxative for a month which gave me diarrhea so i stopped taking and suddenly after i stopped taking them i was put on antibiotics which gave me severe stomach cramps and diahrrhea. It's going to be 2 month since then i have disturb stomach. Someday loose stool (not diahrrhea) someday constipation. I completely lost my appetite (my iron level are finep). One day i had urgency to go toilet. I had lots of mucus. I have health anxiety all my life. Having newborn it's difficult to focus because of anxi3and health issues. I fear worst just thinking i have bowel cancer. Anyone experienced issues after birth?

Constipation after birth is really common. If you don't take laxatives, and eat healthy then it'll not get better. Have you been back to the GP?

@HalloHello yes. They are going to do bunch of test blood work and stool test. Because it's been quite long i am having these issues. Everyday is difficult for me. I m no longer constipated as i was for a month after giving birth. But i have bad cramps, mucus in stool, change in bowel habits. I still see blood occasionally in stool but may be because of fissure because when it's happen i always feel pain for a day down there.

@Iamcrazy what type of food is that? Can you give an example of what you may eat in a day? Reason I am asking is your digestive track may be inflamed so would need to look at altering your diet is it high is fats, carbs, dairy etc?

@Darklava09 my diet was always been in high in fiber. I used to eat oats in breakfast and then vegetables rice and lentils. Curries for dinner. I changed my diet for 2 weeks. Removed spices and high fiber food my symptoms improved. Having white bread and white rice with chicken no red meat and high fiber vegetables. But my stool test came today and my doctor said i have slight inflammation in bowel. I M scraed for causing this.
