I had this problem on and off until about 10 days a go. I'd be backed up for a good few days and have the bloating and gas pains that came with it, then eventually get really bad stomach cramps and end up with a day or two of cramps and diarrhoea. And repeat. The pain from trapped wind got so bad that I had a couple of days off work the week before Christmas and went to see my GP as it seemed much worse after milk so I wondered if I had lactose intolerance. She said it was more likely IBS and to avoid high fibre (gas producing foods) but I politely ignored that advice as I didn't feel that a low fibre diet would help with the constipation. I did, however, stop my multivitamins and switched to just a vitamin D supplement on her advice and also had blood tests to check for any signs of infection (all came back clear). I also increased fluid intake. It's really settled down over the last 10 days and I feel the best I have done this whole pregnancy, so I'm hoping that's the end of my digestive issues. Hopefully it will settle down for all of you too.
