What foods should I eat or avoid, and what other safety precautions should I follow, since I am six weeks pregnant, have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and am taking folic acid, Doxinate, and Susten SR?
Focus on gentle, fiber-rich foods, and avoid spicy, greasy, or gas-producing triggers. Stay well-hydrated. It is highly important to continue your folic acid, Doxinate (doxylamine/pyridoxine) for nausea, and Susten SR (progesterone) exactly as your doctor prescribed, as they safely support your early pregnancy. Avoid taking any new over-the-counter IBS medications without consulting your obstetrician. If you experience severe abdominal pain, spotting, or persistent vomiting, please reach out to your doctor.
