Ask your dr about miralax. This is the osmotic laxative that is safe to take during pregnancy.

Thank you! I recently got diagnosed with IBS. Before I got Pregnant I was slowly having to eliminate more and more foods I just couldnt handle eating and once my hormones kicked into overload with pregnancy so did my IBS. I'm 16weeks prego and now have lost over 16lbs. I just got Heather's book EATING FOR IBS. So tomorrow I'm sending my hubby to the store and loading up on safe foods! CandaceM1210

I'm "C" and have been having a problem with delayed gastric emptying too for almost a year. It last 3-5 days during my menses. This in turn seems to cause me to experience constipation problems. My Dr.'s have explained to me (as well as other IBS'ers) that anti's are hard on the stomach and "can" cause further problems for those who suffer IBS.
When I came down sick a couple of months ago, they prescribed me Erythromycin but had to have it changed to Ceftin (liquid form) which is supposed to be one of the mildest on the stomach for IBS suffers. I'm only going by what I've been told.

I take a teaspoon a day and I haven't found it to have any affect. Though I have heard people say that taking oil helps.
