Constipation is bothering me so much these days, 2nd trimester. My mom suggested isabgol at night. Is it actually safe to take now? Planning to ask gynac but wanted to know if anyone uses it.
I am recently married and we are trying to conceive, so I am very cautious about what I take. I have mild digestion issues and was wondering if isabgol is completely safe to continue during this time. Please let me know if anyone has used it while planning.
I am in my 5th month and struggling so much with constipation lately! I was thinking of starting isabgol tonight but wanted to ask—does it cause any gas or bloating? How many spoons do you guys usually take with warm milk?
Haaji, humare yahan toh sab isabgol hi lete hain kabz ke liye. Yeh bilkul safe hai aur pet ko thandak deta hai. Bas dhyan rakhna ki iske saath khoob saara paani pina, nahi toh fayda nahi karega.
Isabgol is a natural bulk-forming laxative, so it's much safer than chemical pills during pregnancy. The trick is to take one spoon in warm water or milk at night, and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. If your constipation is severe and doesn't clear up, then definitely check with your gynac.
I was so scared to take even isabgol because I worried the bulk fiber would put pressure on my uterus! But I was so constipated that I finally asked my doctor, who reassured me it's completely safe. Just start with a very small spoon and drink lots of water so you don't feel bloated or anxious.
Yes, isabgol is totally safe and was a lifesaver for my constipation during pregnancy! Just make sure you drink a big glass of water right after taking it, otherwise it won't work well. Keeping your digestion smooth also helps a lot when you prepare for a normal delivery later on.
