Stupid question, just curious

As of recently, I have noticed that when I take my pre-natal vitamins. They are making me gassier and I have to poop within an hour or two. Does this mean my body is expelling the vitamin, or is this a normal effect of the vitamin ?

Thanks,

A lot of woman notice that in early pregnancy their gastrointestinal system is a mess...so frequent trips to the bathroom, gas, bloating, stomach aches, morning sickness, vomiting.  I would say if it consistently happens when your take your vit then you need to try another pre-natal.  I would try taking it at different times and see if is directly related to the pre-natal.  Good luck- hope your feeling better soon.

It may also be the extra Iron in the Prenatal. It can case GI upset. Try taking yours with a little OJ....that helps absorption.

this is normal vitamins are known to cause excess gas and constipation
