What can I take for gas pain during pregnancy!

[baby4me?]

Hi Ladies,
I am 9 weeks pregnant and I have TERRIBLE gas pain and I have to get some relief! My Dr. is out of the office this week. What is safe to take during pregnancy? I can't take this anymore! Anytime I eat ANYTHING I have stomach pain for hours. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I'm 30weeks pregnant and glad to see I'm not alone! Gas is getting so bad I don't even feel like going out or being between people. Good to know some daddies out there are helping the mommy-to-be. Good luck to all mommys!

According to a list of meds that are safe for pregnancy my OB/GYN gave me Maalox, Mylanta, Roldaids, and Tums are all safe for gas relief.

I have the same problem. I am almost 6 weeks and whenever I eat ANYTHING, the gas cramps are so bad that I cannot sleep all night. My doctor prescribed Colace (stool softener), Gas-x (round the clock) and milk of magnesia. It helps a bit, but I'm at the point now where I'm just on a liquid diet and that seems to be helping the most. I am drinking Odwalla Protein drinks and veggie drinks. It gives me vitamins, but none of the excruciating gas pain. Hope this helps

I have IBS, and have done ALOT of research for what is safe during pregnancy. I suffer from the gassy-cramps-wanna-poop-cant-poop-oh-jeez-let-me-die symptoms. The best thing to prevent that feeling is ACIDOPHILUS. You can get them as a powder of pill (pretty cheap too... like $4 at walmart). What it does is increase good bacteria in your intestines. The cause for cramping, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, heartburn can be to to not enough good bacteria or an overgrowth of bad. Its has natural probotics that help your intestinal tract, and its also good for your va-jay-jay in preventing yeast infections (common in pregnancy) that could cause premature birth or worse.  It is HIGHLY recommended...plus if you bring it up to your doctor that you would be interested in taking it, they would think you're a smart cookie!!!

Good luck!

PS- Its 2:30 am for me. I was having MAJOR gas cramps. I took the acidophilus pill and the pain has ceased. give it 20 to 30 min. May not work for everyone like that. But in the long run that is how IBS or NOT people can prevent this awful feeling and get some beauty sleep!!!  :)
