Instead, undigested lactose sits in the gut and gets broken down by bacteria, causing gas, bloating, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.

Excess gas build up can be caused by swallowing air while eating, eating a high fiber diet and by eating dairy products (if you are lactose intolerant, especially). Most women know that no medication should be taken during pregnancy, unless necessary, because of the potential harm to the baby.
