So pre-pregnancy I was eating an almost-Paleo diet, with only extremely occasional bread products (like once/twice a month), as it used to make me really bloated. Since the onset of morning sickness though, I've been consuming bread almost exclusively - toast/crumpets in the morning, croissant snack, sandwich for lunch, pizza/burger for dinner - as it's really the only thing that will go down well and keep my stomach full for longer.
Unfortunately, it's not going down so well at the other end It's sent my bowels into a bit of an IBS-like frenzy (to be expected I guess as I've avoided it for so long) and from that point of view is actually making me feel worse.
Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas for non-bread substitutes that are still palatable? Any bowel remedies that are safe in pregnancy? I can't wait for this ickiness to go so I can get back to healthy eating!
