taste buds changing and other ?'s

[Guest guest]

I don't know if this is part of the whole morning sickness phenomenon

that I am experiencing now (5 wks pg), but everything I eat tastes

rotten or bad....fruit, crackers, meat....the only thing I truly

enjoy putting in my mouth are my protein bars and milk. Is this

funky taste thing normal?

And speaking of milk, do you all drink Vitamin D, 2%, skim? My

husband drinks Vit. D, so that's what I've been sucking down, but I

worry about the fat.

And finally, I've read a lot about constipation and gas, but I've got

the opposite problem, gas and diahrrea. The Gas-X chewables work

great for the gas, but can we take Immodium for the other problem? I

see my doctor for my first visit next week, but I am traveling for

the rest of the week and want to bring some if it's ok.

Thanks!

When I was feeling sick - I didn't actually throw up alot just felt

like I wanted to- Things definately smelled rotten. It could have

been something cooking and smelling good all day but then all of a

sudden it seriously smelled like it should have had maggotts crawling

in it because it was that bad. I could never stand to eat it so I

don't know if it would have tasted that way or not. Sometimes if I

waited an hour or so it smelled good again and tasted fine. My

husband once put a piece of eclipse gum in his mouth in the car and

it smelled so bad and so strong being trapped in the car that i was

dry heaving over the gum. Mostly all of this has passed for me

although I still feel queasey at times. I hope it passes for you. As

for the milk I drink 1% but I wouldn't worry about the fat in the

whole milk because the fetus needs to build fat cells any way. If

your weight is fine and your not gaining more than your doc thinks is

good I would drink any kind of milk you like. Good Luck - Diane
