If you're eating healthier, you're probably eating foods with better nutritional value. Some foods (ones that are high in iron, for example) can cause constipation. I suggest walking, more water, and being sure you're eating a really varied diet. I've given up on having normal poops since getting pregnant. It's the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247577 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 14:02:49 +0000 MsMini 1247577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going paleo made my husband reek - he is like a whoopee cushion 24/7, and the stench is foul. It did not have that effect on me - so I can't figure out what the issue is with his bowels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247534 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:42:29 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1247534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As mentioned by PP, make sure you are drinking a ton of water! I can always tell when I haven't had enough, if you know what I mean :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247490 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:21:42 +0000 lamariniere 1247490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eating ground flax seeds in yogurt/cereal has been a life saver for my pregnancy-related constipation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247388 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:44:13 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1247388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More water, walking and dried fruit (but make sure you have the fiber with fat otherwise it won't help as much). Alternatively, a young coconut or chia seeds. And following up with coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247373 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:39:17 +0000 raspberries 1247373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make sure you're getting enough fiber - when I switched to healthier eating, I had the same issue, and more fiber solved it pretty quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247283 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:18:56 +0000 PurplePeony 1247283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat 4-5 prunes a day and drink plenty of water. It takes a couple days to kick in, but when it does, it's a beautiful thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247245 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:08:05 +0000 Alivoo01 1247245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also suggest more water or take some Miralax to help move things along! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247205 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 11:52:56 +0000 pui 1247205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also drinking more water may help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-healthier-buttmi#post-1247198 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 11:50:28 +0000 avivoca 1247198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You'll adjust.
