Drug-Free Solutions for Digestive Discomfort
Are you feeling nauseous, bloated, or uncomfortable after meals since becoming pregnant? You’re not alone. These symptoms are common as pregnancy hormones slow digestion and change organ positioning.
Many mothers seek gentle, non-drug solutions that are safe for their baby. At Physic Ebisu, we offer a natural approach to relieve digestive discomfort using bodywork, nutritional support, and inner balance techniques.
Digestive Changes During Pregnancy
Hormonal changes—especially increased progesterone—slow stomach and intestinal movement. The expanding uterus pushes against the stomach and intestines, which can reduce bile and pancreatic enzyme flow. These changes lead to common symptoms like nausea, bloating, fullness, or indigestion.
Gut Health and Overall Wellness
When digestion slows, the gut microbiome can become imbalanced, making constipation or diarrhea more likely. Poor gut health during pregnancy is linked to skin issues, fatigue, poor sleep, and even breech presentation. Studies also suggest a connection between maternal gut health and the baby’s future risk of allergies, making prenatal gut care especially important.
Natural Care at Physic Ebisu
Our Maternity Hands Care (visceral manipulation) and chiropractic techniques help restore gentle movement in the abdomen, relieve tension, and support internal organ function. We also focus on calming the nervous system to improve digestive rhythm.
From a nutritional angle, we recommend key nutrients like:
-
- Vitamin A (supports mucosal lining and enzyme production)
- Vitamin D (aids absorption and immune regulation)
- Folate (essential for tissue repair and cell health)
- Soluble fiber to nourish beneficial bacteria
We provide practical food tips and supplement advice to support your unique digestive needs.
