Is Constipation Due To Calcium Supplement?
|
The first prenatal vitamin that my doctor prescribed to me made my morning sickness nearly unbearable. He changed my prescription and added a calcium supplement. Since I've started taking the calcium, I've been chronically constipated. Could the calcium supplement be making me constipated and if so, should I stop taking it?

Yes it is that calcium supplement that is making you being more constipated.So you just stop it and try different doctor so he will be able to know sickness well. You can also try the pharmacist as well as the the local herbalist for more treatment.
As you know those disease was exiting before the coming of doctors and it was the herbalist that was treating it.

hi,and as lo ng as your doctor is not the one who suspend the calcium medication you should not stop to take it now, what you can do is contact your doctor and see what he says about it, but before you speak with him you can start do some great changes in your meals that must help you to get rid of the constipation add food rich in magnesium in your meals, eat at least 350 grams of grape everyday, drink plenty of water, go for a rich fiber diet in the morning, and if you use white rice you can change for brownj during this period coz the brown rice is rich in fiber as well.

I think no, you must have vegestable and fruit diet to ease your vowel movement. During pregnancy it is better to watch your food intake, beware of the instant food,go for raw and healthy fruits and vegestables. Likewise, drink enough water, it helps to ease constipation. You can research in the net for good diet about this incident, too.

Constipation is something specific to pregnancy time.I am not sure if calcium can give such symptom, but an unapropriate diet can!
try to eat as much fruits as you can, also vegies, are very important.
the fibers from fruits and vegi will help to have a better elimination.
try also dried prune.Always help!
