IBS and pregnant?? Anyone please.(tmi)

I have suffered from IBS for years and have been dealing with trying to get it under control for a while. I have started medication (Bentyl) and its been working fairly good, the first few months of this pregnancy I had the opposite of my normal IBS attacks and was severely constipated now my diarrhea is back and   Things that never bothered me before are setting me off... I had an iced coffee earlier today small & it set me off, my stomach is all sorts of messed up, I feel like I have diharrea but when I go to the br I just have a lot of gas and soft bm.. But I have my usual nausea, but I'm also shaky, dizzy, hot/cold flashes, I took a bentyl and zofran.. Anyone else ever have any of this? I'm 31w1d & he's moving so much that's also contributing to the nausea, plus I feel like I have more discharge but when I check nothing is there.... Ugh sorry for the long pos just looking for help

Chrohn disease can apparently be fixed with a switch of diets. Going gluten free is the best diet. My whole family is gluten free due to the celiac disease (no idea how to spell it) and i read online this lady makes wonderful gluten free recipes and she says she has chrohn disease and thats how she is able to get it under control by going gluten free.

I have an allergy to milk and gluten which cause the same symptoms you described... Maybe it's a food allergy not your IBS?

I have crohns disease and know how your feeling. I've had to come off all my meds as they are dangerous for the baby. I'm 32 weeks and the little man is a wriggler, and kicks my bowel etc which is painful and makes my symptoms bad  I've found eating bland foods such as chicken and rice calms it down a little. No dairy, eat early, and lay off fibrous foods. Also eat low fat diet. I feel for you as I've had this for years, and can sympathize. Good luck.

sometimes i get like all dizzy cause its like so sudden if you get me like il be doing something n then bamm you need a toilet.. Im only at the early stages but ive found my vitamins have messed me up quite a lot... With the extra movement as well from baba he might just be putting pressure on something thats speeding up you whole digestion process...

Hope that sort of helps... Ive found that no fizzy, caffeine or chocolate has helped with my stomach... Just with the ingrediants it doesnt mesh well..
