The Fruit-Eze™ Solution

6 Reasons Constipation Develops During Pregnancy


1. Fiber Intake.
Too little dietary fiber often results in constipation. Under average circumstances it can be difficult to consume adequate amounts to ensure soft stools. It can be even more difficult if you're not eating well or feeling well during pregnancy. Daily servings of all natural Fruit-Eze™ Regularity Blend provide adequate fiber necessary to soften stools.

2. Fluid Intake.
During pregnancy, the body’s demand for fluid intake increases. Not enough fluids can lead to constipation. Unlike dry fiber laxatives like Metamucil that demand even more fluid intake, the moist fiber in all natural Fruit-Eze™ Regularity Blend helps retain fluid, keeping stools soft and flexible.

3. Supplements and medication.
Supplements and medications such as iron, calcium, pain pills, etc. are important for your healthy and comfortable pregnancy. Unfortunately, they can also cause constipation or make existing constipation worse. For preventing and alleviating this problem,reach for all natural Fruit-Eze™ Regularity Blend as it's the healthy alternative to pharmaceutical and herbal laxatives.

4. Hormonal Changes.
During pregnancy, hormones are released that relax the muscles surrounding the gastrointestinal tract, slowing down the passage of food through the digestive system which is a contributing factor in constipation. All natural Fruit-Eze™ Regularity Blend helps keep the muscles toned by maintaining a flexible gel for them to work with.

5. Bowel Crowded by Growing Fetus.
As the fetus grows, the bowels become crowded - narrowing intestinal corridors and increasing the chances of constipation by drying the stool and slowing its passage. Daily servings of all natural Fruit-Eze™ helps maintain optimal conditions for regularity in this challenging situation and throughout pregnancy.

6. Laxative damage.

Unfortunately, the harsh chemicals and herbs found in most laxatives irritate the colon lining and destroy healthy bacteria needed to maintain regularity. All natural Fruit-Eze™ Regularity Blend provides nourishment for replacing healthy bacteria as well as soothing and healing the colon lining.

 

Tips. for Avoiding and Alleviating
Constipation During Pregnancy

Keep in mind that the clinical definition of regularity is having a bowel movement of good texture two - three times per week. without having to strain a lot. Many people are surprised with this definition and expect a BM - or even two BM's! - every single day. Although some people do go that often, they are the exception, not the rule.

Make sure you visit the toilet everyday, even if there is no urge to move the bowel doing this can help set a routine for elimination. Relax, do not strain. If no BM occurs, you can try again after a while.

Exercise such as stretching or walking is very helpful for regularity and good health in general.

Relaxation is often undervalued as a naturally healing activity. One or two naps a day and some quiet time alone can be a wonderful tonic for body and soul, and will encourage regularity along with all the bodily systems.

Notice changes in stool quality and frequency. If bowel movements are too infrequent or require you to strain, it is fine to try 3 tablespoons per day. If you are pretty regular, one tablespoon a day will be fine.

If your stool is too hard or infrequent, you can try a little more Fruit-Eze™. If it's too soft or too frequent, use a little less Fruit-Eze™.
