I vomited on a banana/spirulina smoothie once, can't stomach that stuff again.
It might be healthy but your stomach doesn't necessarily know that. ]]> Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:48:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618473&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618473 <![CDATA[A warning on natural remedies : Wow that is scary!!

Wow that is scary!! I was taking the concieve well and felt really nauseous every morning and felt constantly yuk, then when i figured it wasnt cos i was preg, i stopped taking them and i felt fine

I have been taking the elevit and they arent giving me any side effects at all.........but cos they are so expensive im just taking folic acid and gonna save the elevit for when i am actually preg

My friend actually gave me the elevit cos she couldnt take them through her pregnancy cos they gave her a bad stomach and diarohea etc............

So i suppose we all can take heed from this, that just cos one didnt work for one, it may just well work for you and vice versa!!

Hhmmmmmm now i feel like a smoothie just reading about them.........but just a normal one........but am doing circuit tonight so dont think its a good idea to have that slosh around........]]> Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:24:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618401&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618401 <![CDATA[A warning on natural remedies : Lizzie - I&#039;ve heard lots...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618358&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618358 Author: Emily281

Lizzie - I've heard lots of people have similar reactions to the Elevit. Some people suggest taking them at night.

Given that so many of these fertility enhancing herbs etc can actually be bad for you during pregnancy I wouldn't take anything unless it was under the supervision of some health specialist.]]> Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:39:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618358&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618358 <![CDATA[A warning on natural remedies : for bloat try some yoghurt it...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618354&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618354 Author: sweetpea

for bloat try some yoghurt it works well.

You have to remember that just because something is natural it isn't always good for us, It can do harm or you can react to it.]]> Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:35:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618354&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618354 <![CDATA[A warning on natural remedies : Its scary how every body is different...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618332&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618332 Author: MamaT

Its scary how every body is different and we all react to things differently. It just goes to show that what may be ideal for one can be rubbish for another.

 

Hope you feel better Treen

 

Lizzie - I have been taking Elevit for 3 months now and apart from dark stools (sorry TMI) from the iron in it I haven't had any other symptoms. Again, different for every person

hmmmm can i blame preconception vitamins for feeling crappy? i've had a month of blackmores conceive well, then changed to elevit last week, the elevit has the worst side effects but i've never felt so bloated (all the time!) in my life. ]]> Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618027&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618027 <![CDATA[A warning on natural remedies : I got the recipe from a video...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618019&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618019 Author: Treen

I got the recipe from a video off naturalfertilityshop.com and used the minimum daily dosages suggested on the packets of all the supplements. I also made sure that all of the powdered supplements were natural and not synthetic nor past their expiry date and I bought them from an expensive organic shop. I did everything right, but there must have been something in them that my body didn't agree with.

I was just silly thinking that it couldn't possibly be my healthy smoothie, so I continued drinking them. I'm still right into my natural products, but now I realise that I have to be careful with them also!]]> Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:52:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=618019&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#618019 <![CDATA[A warning on natural remedies : Treen - sorry to hear it has been...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=617910&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#617910 Author: HippyMama

This is very true as not everyone body accepts things the same as someone else. Whats fine for one may not be so for others and whenever taking any medication, natural, traditional or pharmacutical, if it's making you feel grotty, stop taking it. ]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2009 21:39:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=617801&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#617801 <![CDATA[A warning on natural remedies : Hi girls, For the past 4 - 5...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24657&PID=617785&title=a-warning-on-natural-remedies#617785 Author: Treen

Hi girls,

For the past 4 - 5 weeks I've been having a "fertility" smoothie for breakfast every morning. The contents include Vitamin C, Maca, Spirulina, Flax Seed Oil, Kefir, 1 banana, blueberries and rice milk. Now for the past 3 weeks I've been violently ill with bloating, nausea, diarrhea (sorry, TMI), headaches, you name it. DH suggested it might be the smoothies about a week ago but I dismissed it thinking if anything, the smoothies will be keeping me healthy.

However, after power chucking on the bathroom floor yesterday, I decided to bypass the smoothie this morning and guess what? I feel 100%!

Just thought I'd let you all know that sometimes going all natural can turn against you!
