Hi mommies,
ok so I'm sure ALL of us are having some degree of gastric upset per our ever growing little beans. Hang in there! This post may be TMI so just a heads up- I'm talkin' poop here.
My question is specifically for women who have IBD like crohn's or colitis that usually causes you to have diarrhea several times a day or IBS-d that can cause that as well. I have a still not diagnosed disorder thought to be crohn's (long story short all of the tests became too much and I went into partial remission anyway)but is at very least some rare form of IBS-d that caused a 25 lb weight loss in six weeks for me.
Okay SO, I hear all of this talk about constipation and how it's to slow down digestion and nourish baby. Well- mine has slowed down A LOT (from 6-8 times during my remission and from 20+ times during my flare) to 2-3 times but still loose. I'm worried the baby is not getting nutrients. Is my digestion slowed down enough for it to absorb enough? I'm not vomiting a ton *thanks to my condition, I'm pretty much the queen of keeping in vomit after throwing up like 35 times a day haha* but I'm still worried the transit times through my small intestines *wherein the issue lies* is too fast for proper nutrient absorption.
Sorry this is very lengthy, but do any of you suffer from this and have advice OR at least a "don't worry" from your ob? Kinda nervous. TIA!
