A "staying regular" PSA

[followthesun]

I have heard lots of ladies saying they feel bloated and backed up. These are really helping me. Chew them lots before swallowing, keep up the water, and it hopefully will help you too. Cue running to Target...

Even though they are gummy are they chalky at all? I can't stand any gritty or chalky texture.

Interesting! Unfortunately I just bought a double pack of calcium chews at Costco, but once those are gone I'll give these a shot.

I have different calcium chews as well, but maybe I'll make the switch once they're gone.

Thanks! You're taking these in addition to your prenatal, right? Are you taking them at the same time or do you split the day?

[followthesun]

mishy2010, I don't find them chalky at all. rivers and roads, I take them in the morning with my prenatals plus a DHA supplement. Two chews per serving. Lots of things in the morning but I always remember that way.

And a second warning - they're good enough that you might want to eat 2.

I deal with serious constipation all the time, let alone being pregnant, I laugh in the face of fiber... fiber puts the brakes on my poops.
The one thing I have found that works, Greek yogurt! I think it's all the probiotics! I blend one single serve container of Fage 0% with a cup of frozen mango and a splash of juice or coconut milk, tastes way better than the mango smoothie at Panera and gets my bowels 'a movin! It has a ton of protein too...

I'm crossing my fingers that I don't end up with GD, so I can keep having these every morning.
