gretel Congrats on the second trimester!
Jules I started probidics probably 3ish years ago and have never stopped taking my 'one' pill (used to be two one in the morning and one at night) and the more research I do on them the more I think they are a gift to be used. They are good for immunity, good for tummy issues, good for a lot of things (google them). My doc is ok that I'm on them during pregnancy and in fact I have been on three rounds of antibodics (two for a sinus infection that wouldn't go away and one for a root canal) and haven't gotten any yeast infections AT ALL! Pharmasist told me because I'm diligent at taking them I probably wouldn't have a problem and he was right.
I was diagnosed with a haitus hernia when I was heavy. It settled losing weight but now it's back (apparently they never really go away) because baby is taking up the room and pushing up. I spent a few days without eating anything and went to the doc yesterday. I felt bloated but I guess it was the acids coming back up.
When I look back I bet this has been bugging me for a few months because I remember asking my friend for my wedge pillow back a few weeks ago because "I feel bloated at night and maybe it would help" I'm now on Zantac for the week and then as required. I took two yesterday and finally got a sleep. This morning I thought "ok try just taking one" and went to work. Yeah can't find the little sleeve I brought specifically for work and TUMS don't work for me AT all! So I had my normal salad and I still feel bloated
It's like I had a turkey supper. Can't wait to get home to pop a Zantac (it made me feel so much better yesterday).
OK! pity party is over!
