Am Pregnant. Have Problem With Bowels. Advised Colace, Milk Of Magnesia. Now Feel Bloated. Can I Use Kayam Churna?
Dear Dr. Charles,
I am 4 months into my pregnancy and do have some trouble with bowel movements in the mornings. I live in Denver, CO and my doctor prescribed a couple of remedies, a) Colace as a stool softener and b) Milk of Magnesia for easy bowel movements.
While Colace works unless I have a high acid reflux the previous day, the milk of magnesia causes extreme bloating and gas which makes me throw up the next morning all the more than other days.
I wanted to try Kayam Churna, but I am not sure if its safe and I need more of something which I can safely have every night without harming my baby's growth. Please advise. Thank you.
Regards
Priyanka Ray

Hi,
Continue with laxatives prescribed by your doctor.
Having Kayam Churna is not advisable as we do not know its constituents so its side effects on fetus,we do not know.
Take plenty of water.
Take more fibers in diet.
Do light exercise like slow walking, swimming etc.
no other laxatives are safe during pregnancy.
Ok and take care.
