Why is it that every time I feed (any food or fruits) my stomach gets lots of gas and it really swells? This is the first pregnancy and first trimester. I am now forced to take one meal in a day because of this problem. Also, most of the time my mouth feels flat and I have to chew mint day in day out.

This is caused by the hormonal changes in the body. To have a bit of relief, you can keep a food diary to determine which foods seem to cause the most discomfort and for further advice, see a nutritionist. You can also eat small meals more frequently and slowly, avoid fatty, fried or spicy food, sleep semi-upright, well supported by plenty of pillows and avoid drinking with meals.
