If she is taking a pre-natal vitamin/mineral supplement or other supplement with iron (ferrous sulfate) she could be causing her own constipation and her baby's excessive gas. Unless a mother is anemic, I recommend that she eliminate her pre-natal. I have a lot of clients who respond favorably to this step. If she is concerned about her diet, she can get a multi-vitamin, without iron, at the pharmacy. If a person is not anemic she shouldn't take iron supplements.
