Am I the only one w an upset stomach? So many things talk about constipation...I def don't have that problem. And I haven't even taken my prenatal vitamins, which have a lovely added stool softened....

But this pregnancy I've vomited once and am very nauseas but this pregnancy is diarrhea! !! Gross I kno but just being honest! Ugghh. Im 7.5 weeks
So I looked up natural cures for sour stomach. I found aloe vera juice. I tried it and it is a god send. Only problem is that after I tried it I found out it MIGHT cause an electrolyte imbalance that MIGHT cause bladder contractions that MIGHT cause premature labor.
When I spoke to my midwife about it she never even heard of aloe vera juice. I explained that I had found sites claiming that the juice is totally safe and other sites explaining the above. She said she would look it up and call me if she had a definitive opinion either way. But that the one little glass I drank (it was maybe 6 oz) couldn't hurt me. She hasn't called me, and I suppose she is as lost as I am.
So on the nights its really bad, I drink a little juice. If I don't drink a lot of it or too frequently I'm sure I'll be fine. I bet the studies were done in the people following the twice a day recommended dosage. Or people using aloe vera gel, which is different from the juice. The scary study referenced gel a lot.
