Constipation and gaining too much?

Question

I haven't had a complete bowel movement in about a month. My belly feels hard and hurts due to backup. Could that be why I have gained more weight recently? What can help? My doctor always says to just drink more and eat more fruits but that's not helping. I drink about 2 gallons of water/juice and I ate a whole container of strawberries yesterday. Idk anymore.

Answer

Try Colace. Its a stool softener that is not a laxative. Laxatives aren't safe while pregnant. I had indegistion problems and went to a specialist who said that too much fiber can also have the reverse effect. I would definitely speak to a doctor though! Good luck
