protein

Avatar n tn Does anyone know if protein bars and protein shakes are safe to eat/drink while pregnant?
Avatar m tn PowerBar protein bars, CLIF protein supplement bars, etc. I feel that consuming lactose definitely worsens my symptoms, but I seem to experience them intermittently regardless of my consumption of dairy products. Any advice on how to reduce these symptoms would be greatly appreciated, as they have begun to interfere pretty heavily with my social life, and are generally extremely unpleasant.
Avatar n tn For me eliminating gluten and dairy were the only ways to eliminate my constipation. I also don't eat any protein bars of any kind. Those are the worst for constipation.
Avatar f tn Nuts have protein. Some are kinda salty though. Beans have lots of protein.
Avatar f tn i genuinely don't think I can handle this constipation anymore, going to the toilet hurts so bad and having piles on top of that does not help. Any straight forward tips on being able to go easier ladies?
Avatar f tn Becca, bloating and constipation is unfortunately totally notmal. I found that Zofran, the nausea medicine, made mine worse. Try cutting down on proteins and breads (still eat them, healthy nutrition is vital at this point), but eat more fiber enriched foods. For me, Fiber one meal bars really helped get things moving in my tummy, and got rid of the gas and bloating. I hope that helps!
Avatar f tn Try drinking lots of water and protein fiber drinks and fiber bars and bananas may help.. I still have problems too I am little over 5 weeks pregnant and that's what has been helping me out at times.. may help you if all else fails.
Avatar f tn Add fiber to your daily eating schedule.... I eat a bowl of oatmeal reach morning or eat the fiber one snack bars. I also drink Apple juice which helps as well. I too was constipated for over a week and I was miserable.. changing your diet to add more fiber should help because the OTC medication did not work for me.
Avatar n tn Hello! I am 23 weeks pregnant.suffering from severe constipation now a days. I try to take enough vegetables and water but no help! Can I use any laxative for softening my stool or suppositor ?
Avatar n tn Eat a few fiber 1 bars at the same time lol if nothing else works, try milk of magnesia. Got me going immediately and after a few days of having to use it I'm back to normal. drink LOTS of water and eat fruit/veggies.
Avatar n tn It is quite normal, and common, unfortunately. Try stool softeners. If those don't work, increase your fiber intake. I ate Fiber One bars and those helped a lot. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Im 6 wks also and the constipation is a living hell atm. I swear as soon as I put something in my mouth I get automatic constipation no matter what I try! Its the worst feeling in the world and Im having trouble even eating the tiniest bit of food! Im going to have to look into some safe laxatives because nothing else is giving me relief and bub needs food!
Avatar f tn My constipation is back... I've tried stool softeners, fiber one bars, magnesium citrate, and still NOTHING. HELP!!
Avatar n tn The only thing i can imagine to include as a possible factor is the fact that that same week this started, i started a high protein diet consisting of protein bars for breakfast and then protein shakes blended with banana and flax for snack with normal meals for breakfast and dinner. No fever, no blood in stools, the left side from the ribs down to hip bone spasms and there feels like blockage pain. I obviously have stopped the diet but still not regular.... can anyone help?
Avatar f tn Good question!
Avatar f tn So I took dulcolax but I guess I ended up in diarrhea....anyone who thinks yes its bcuz of dulcolax n what else I can use to relieve constipation??
Avatar f tn You probably need to drink more water. About3 liters a day depending on your size. And fruit!!
Avatar f tn Make sure to stay well hydrated, and make sure to eat foods high in fiber
Avatar f tn I drink whey protein and use it for cookies, I also eat protein bars.
Avatar f tn Eat more fiber!!
Avatar f tn So normal! My doctor suggested colace. And I've eaten fiber 1 bars and stuff like that. :) hang in there. It'll only get worse. The iron in my prenatals causes me problems, but I'm anemic, so I even have an iron supplement to take.
