Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm on loestrin 24 pill and I just started taking them on the Sunday after my period, but I have been experiencing bloating and excessive gas more then 3 times a week. I was wondering is this normal side effect or could I be pregnant. Today was my first day taking the brown sugar pills, but no period yet.
Some advices that I can give to you are: -Use simethicone medication for the bloating. -Avoid chewing gum. -Limit your intake of carbonated drinks. -Avoid foods that cause gas, such vegetables in the cabbage family, dried beans, and lentils. -Eat slowly and avoid drinking through a straw. -Use lactose-free dairy products (if you are lactose intolerant).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
