Pregnancy and gas..?



What are some foods that give you gas.. because i must be eating all the wrongs ones! Im 16 weeks and sometimes it can be painful or last all day! another question Is Ive been craving subway for some reason (just like a small turkey sandwhich) how bad is it that i eat that kind of fast food like 3 times week!!
---I asked this question under pregnancy but nobody answered me.---

During pregnancy, hormones relax the muscles in your digestive tract. This slows down your digestion and can cause gas to build up. Gas leads to bloating, burping, passing gas, discomfort, and pain in the belly鈥攅specially after a big meal.

Certain foods can make gas worse. But these vary from person to person. Some people naturally produce more gas than others. Some people get a lot of gas from foods that don't bother others.

In general, some starches (such as pasta and potatoes), some fiber-rich foods (such as oat bran and beans), and foods that contain certain sugars (such as cabbage and cauliflower) cause gas for many people. Women who have trouble digesting dairy products may have bloating and gas when they eat more of these products during pregnancy.

As for your cravings, there's not a lot of scientific evidence that backs this up, but as a mom of 3 i can tell you that it's likely you are craving turkey because your body needs it. So go ahead and indulge, but remember to do it just once. You can also make a healthy turkey salad without the bread at home, add all the ingredients the sandwich has to a lettuce salad and eat all you want.
Eating subway is fine it's good for you just not the chips or cookies. I'm pretty sure gas during pregnancy is normal.

Onions, beans, cabbage, fried food, meat, eggs, fish, bread...etc. I think foods high in carbohydrates.


Non gassy foods are carrots, radishes, beets...

Oh, totally normal, I'm only 7 weeks and wondering if it gets any worse? Are you taking vitamins? I was at the doc this week and he said I can eat anything I want, anything I feel like or crave, so have that subway and enjoy it! LOL
