Hi I am an RD and CLC, but I am pregnant with #1. Is there any information on Simethicone (Main ingredient in Gas-X). Can't find it in the 14th edition. If its under another name, please let me know I'll gladly look it up.
I have decreased some veggie intake (I prefer the cruciferous veg), but I love legumes also. I am approaching the end of my 1st trimester. I used things like Beano and Gas-X before being pregnant but not since. However, the gas is not triggered by eating these specific foods. It seems to be simply due to pregnancy. I usually get it early in the morning, and late evenings. I am just wondering if the Gas-X can be used for quick relief.
My midwife says don't use it.
I've read on the internet that its okay.
Please advise.
