Acid Reflux Pregnancy
Q: I am 24wks. pregnant and I just found out about a month or more ago that I have Acid Reflux. The Dr. put me on meds. for it but it seems like the bigger my uterus gets the worse the Acid Reflux gets. I get a terrible tighting in my chest and I begin to cough constantly until I literally throw up. I was wondering if anyone had any sugguestions or home remedies that I can try out that may help. Can anyone suggest Any home remedies for dealing with Acid Reflux during pregnancy?
A:You also should sleep with your head elevated
i heard on public television that a tea spoon of vinegar will stop heartburn.
other than watching your diet, drink water, chew gum, sugerfree of course and eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big. this will not cure you, but should help reduce the symptoms. Your prenatal vitamins may also be the culprit.
Stay away from spicy foods, and caffeine, two worst things for u w/Acid Reflux. I have it pretty bad, and after about 4 days of being on Protonix, I feel much much better...Just gotta eat right... stay away from red sauces .
Try buying raw organc apple cider vinegar. You take 2 teaspoons mix with water or another drink (I use ice tea) drink it before a meal. Start out just doing it before dinner and if after a few days it doesn't help, try taking before lunch too.
