Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Natural Methods to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Fenugreek & Stomach Trouble

Has anyone else experienced stomach distress with the Fenugreek. I seemed to start off okay, but this week I have had serious stomach distress. I am thinking of backing down to 1 pill 3x/day and see if my system will adjust and then add in a pill at a time. Any other advise?

This is why Blessed Thistle is part of the regime it helps with the stomach issues that some experience with the fenugreek. Are you taking both? It may also help to take your pills with meals.

Hi Lalle,

I am taking the pills with meals. I am the person who is gluten intolerant so I have to be very careful what type of pills I ingest. I am still looking for the Blessed Thistle in capsules I can take (found the Fenugreek in capsules I can digest). I read up on the Blessed Thistle on line. It's kind of funny because everything I read also says this herb will cause stomach upset. Maybe they cancel each other out! I hope I can find something that will work for me and settle this down. I really want to continue with the herbs in order to build my supply.
