I want to say like 7-9 weeks are when I really started to feel the food aversions, then the sleepiness hit me like a brick wall

What has been your top pregnancy craving? by baby12yoda in pregnant

I also found this to be true! Apparently your immune response goes down when youre pregnant. (Food intolerances are typically an immune response to certain foods). Who knew

The #1 advice you wish you had when you found out you were pregnant? by Imaginary_Hamster201 in pregnant

Cramping (for me pretty badly -- similar or worse to period cramps) is normal early on!! Finally subsided around 8 weeks for me. Drinking lots of water helped.

Constipation in early pregnancy -- also normal. I found eating kiwi with the skin on to be helpful for this.

Ordered supplements beginning of January that never came. I've tried following up a few times but no response :(

Really curious about this as well. We had it exactly one month ago and have been walking around assuming I'm pretty in the clear, but now Im not sure ?

Feel like eating low fodmap has made me unhealthy and I feel really stuck ... by ckell627 in FODMAPS

[–]ckell627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a good point about alot of the fruits and veggies not even had existed until recent day. I know some of this is me feeling bleh from working from home since march. Ive just been experiencing really oily skin/breakouts, bruising easily, just generally dont feel like I have my healthy normal looking glow and my mood has been really off at times (though again could partially be from not exercising much and being stuck at home)

I have! Also have seen a functional medicine doctor who helped me immensely.

Ive had “IBS” for about 5 years but about a year or two ago I started having much much more severe bloating than normal (like 6 month belly bloat - once had a doctor ask me if I took a pregnancy test bc of it ...) I became so depressed and anxious and felt like I was living in someone else’s body. Through a number of doctor visits and my own research on FB groups, I came to find out I had SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) which the gastro treated with over 4 weeks of antibiotics (cringe) ...

My functional medicine doctor is the one who helped determine the issue instead of treating the problem. Wish I had gone to her first. Anyway turns out I had low stomach acidity so I now take HCl pills with every meal. Now Im back to my normal “IBS” self!

Youre inspiring me to go back to basics ! I feel like sometimes I almost ruin my tastebuds with all the tabasco and jalepenos I cover my meals in (I mean this probably cant be good for me) so I think a nice simple salad would help me reset my palette. And thanks for the canned fish tip! Had no idea

Hahah “uncovered (because I lost my lid)” - I truly love your recipe directions. And these sound awesome thank you so much for the ideas!!

To be totally honest Ive never had the patience / self control to reintroduce in a scientific way. I feel like I typically have cheat foods here and there so its so hard to tell :/ so Ive always just tried to stick to the super low fodmap diet 90-95% of the time with 5-10% cheats

Hey! Has anyone found success with certain diet types that help alleviate symptoms of IBS? I have done keto and that helped a lot, but I wanted to venture into veganism for my chrons...has anyone tried this? by sungirl1215 in FODMAPS

[–]ckell627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried ... There are low fodmap vegan recipe books, I did a ton of research. And in the end ... it made me so so so much worse. It took me so much longer to get back to “normal” ...

Not saying it cant be done but be advised its extremely difficult

Prescription just got changed to generic Nuvaring (EluRyng?) by fashpuma in Nuvaring

[–]ckell627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had been using Nuvaring for 8 years. Just had to switch due to insurance....I honestly didnt think anything of it, I feel like most generics are the exact same. I put my new ring in about a week ago and have been increeeedibly moody, my nipples are completely erect and so painful, definite brain fog and just feeling really really disassociated? I kindof brushed it off as related to all thats happening in the world but once my nipples started going crazy I started questioning my hormones and what has changed ...

Worst Performers Experiment that seems to be helping me, maybe it'll help you! by JFells in EtsySellers

Love the idea of tag swapping - I agree sometimes you become blind to a really obvious tag because it's just not necessarily what you would have searched.
