Pregnant Women Please read This!! I see many pregnant women who come in to our South Austin clinic with complaints of stomach discomfort and even nausea. This typically only happens in the first trimester and it can generally cause a great deal of suffering. There are usually two primary causes for this. The first being an overworked gallbladder and the other being a imbalance of phosphorous and calcium in the soon to be mother. The latter happens because of the baby’s need of phosphorous for bone production. This throws the phosphorous balance in the mother off and nausea is a main symptom. On the other hand, if the Gallbladder is weak, than fat digestion will be difficult and cause stomach upset including nausea. Either way, the answer to the problem is typically clear and straight forward to fix with nutritional supplements, acupuncture and herbs. If this sounds like you, please call and let us help.
