No DO NOT lighten up on your enyzmes-that will give you the loose stools you are talking about for maybe the 1st day or 2-and after that it will actually contribute to constipation. That's why we get intestinal blockages, b/c of not enough enzymes.
Not sure if you remember when I first found out I was preg, I rushed to the ER when I was about 5/6 weeks along. I thought I was losing the preg or had an ectopic preg b/c the pain was so bad in my abdomen-I had an intestinal blockage, a very bad one. That whole week I had skipped days pooping too, and just felt icky and full. Normally I go 1-2 times a day and I was going once every other day. That was a bad experience! Fortunately I was able to get rid of it with drinking tons of water, prune juice, and my herbal intestinal formula, which I wouldn't take during preg but that was an extreme situation. I now take 4-5 enzymes with meals and drink lots of water, and I started Sensitive Colon Support supplement by New Chapter-good old new chapter....Its a probiotic with fiber all in one. I love it, its kept me very regular. And my doc said its perfectly safe. Just an fyi, in case you are having trouble. I do know that my doc said I shouldn't take any Metamucil/Fibersol type drink things while preg.
But whatever you do, do something b/c you sound just like I was! Be careful!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
