C Issues - Help :(


Cherry Tart

Hello Friends!

I desperately need your suggestions...

I have a 4 month old baby and I'm breastfeeding.........and I'm have major issues with the Big C. I had this problem toward the latter part of my pregnancy and right after delivery but, these issues usually resolved within a few hours of taking Senokot or drinking tea. This has been going on for 2 days and I'm freaking out! I don't feel well at all. I've read all of the old posts about C and they mention impaction - yikes, what if that happens to me? Sorry - TMI. Please share if you know of any remedies that are OK to take while breastfeeding. I've been gluten-free for several years and have not had any problems with the Big C other than when I was pregnant. Please help! :unsure:

Your advice is greatly appreciated :)

well, I wasn't gluten-intolerant when I was pregnant and I didn't breastfeed. But my first thought was iron or iron supplements or medications. Alot of iron or taking iron supplements will tend to constipate one. And some meds will. Are you taking any of the above??

I got it too when I was breastfeeding. It was mainly due to not drinking enough water, for me anyway. SO, definitely drink 8 - 10 glasses of water a day. Metamucil also helped. Hot herbal tea or hot apple juice will help as well. Prune juice works for lots of people. You could also try Miralax, it is very gentle - not a stimulant, you can get it over the counter.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
