Heartburn?!

scorpiodragon · Feb 10th, 2010, 08:08 AM

Anyone else dying with heartburn already? I remember having this with my son later in my pregnancy, but with this little one it doesn't matter what I eat I am suffering.... Anyone have any remedies out there for me?!
I hate that I am complaining as I have wanted this for so long.... but I don't know what to do... I have cut out spicy (which I love) and coffee, trying to eat simple small meals, but even the cheerios with 2% milk this morning is giving me a problem UGH!

I was suffering really badly with heartburn for about a month but the last few days it seems to have gone, no doubt it'll be back soon though. It's horrible isn't it.

With my son (2nd pregnancy) I got it really bad right from the word go! I think I drank more Gavisgon than anything else, its horrible.

Hope it eases soon x

someone told me to drink water with a splash of lime juice. as weird as it sounds, it actually worked. apparently lime juice and stomach acid create a base when they interact.

its true, lime and soda works and bizarrely so does Lilt!

I cant go anywhere without my trusty Rennie Minty Chews!

This isn't a remedy but scientists are now saying the oldwives tale that heartburn means a full head of hair has some truth to it! Apparently the chemical that causes heartburn is also the one that makes fetal hair grow!

I have it too. It sucks. Even crackers give it to me! Crackers!

haha! I have heard of that wive's tale! This one has got a lot of hair!! LOL
Thanks everyone, I will try the lime and soda... Moggy what is Lilt? Canadian here... is it a UK thing?

Lilt? Its fizzy pineapple and grapefruit drink - totally tropical taste according to the ads but did my MS and heartburn a treat! Not bad flavour.... It is made by Coca Cola, maybe you call it something different?

How you doing?
