ACID REFLUX AND CONSTIPATION POST ER.

[Ebonynelly]

Hi Ladies.

Please how do you deal with acid reflux and especially constipation after egg retrieval.

Since egg retrieval on Monday, I have not used the toilet other than to wee.

Any tips will be appreciated please.

I think someone said that Gaviscon is safe to use during pregnancy the other day so it should be ok now (double check on that though). I drink fizzy pop for reflux. Sounds crazy but it works for me. Get some prune juice in you for constipation xx

Thanks for your reply dear.

Gaviscon is safe in pregnancy but you could always ring your fertility clinic to ask for their suggestions. I find eating a few prunes works well for me.

Both these can be awful for acid reflux try warm milk if you like it also avoid spicy food or anything that makes it worse bread and pastries are culprits try not to eat large amounts for the constipation fruit and veg plenty of fluid and keeping mobile all help hope symptoms go soon x

I suffered the same thing after egg retrieval, it's the worst!! Lots of water definitely and people here (Brazil) swear by papaya to get things moving. Hope it settles down soon for you xxx
