Trying to do everything naturally…

• Metamucil (only gave me cramps)

• As much water as possible

• tons of fibrous foods including greens, fruit, bran

• manual intestinal massage

• walks (although I’m moving way less than normal because of constant nausea and fatigue)

Unless I take a laxative, I literally won’t go. The longest I went was 4.5 days but I started to feel incredibly sick and I was so bloated. My midwives said “just take medication”. I’ve never experienced this before. I also now have gastritis and my stomach is inflamed and my intestines loud and gassy.
