Heartburn Remedy

Q.Any Natural Remedies for Heartburn... while Pregnant? I cant take the Antacids due to the other Medication I am taking. The can have a bad reaction and I just cant risk it. I am 29 weeks and Baby is pushing up on my stomach causing me to have horrible heartburn. I am on Very Strict Bedrest so I cant sit up for long periods of time or get up and walk around. I cant sleep and hope that there is something I can Eat or Drink to help? Can anyone in the group help me please?

A.I was on complete bed rest for 6 months as well. No problem- I wanted that baby more than anything Be your own nutrionist- really make it work for you. I was well known around the healthfood store. I used herbal teas (safe for baby) as not just drinks, they were bases for soups and mixtures and used them again for the baby food when he arrived. Papaya is a great digestive aid. [fresh or pills] Fennel seeds. ( often used in sausage- digestive aid) [you can get these candy coated as well] I would just pop an hand full in my mouth, chew chew chew and wash it down fresh parsley ( great digestive aid) [MY FAVORITE] Real bark licorice- (taste like black licorice) at healthfood store. Peppermint is a digestive aid, yet not really recommended for pregancy for several reasons. It is my favorite most times. Chamomile TEA is great and I made my rice and oatmeal with it. Make it fresh, get a muslim tea bag and fresh flowers and make a huge batch of it. No sugar or honey (sorry) ruins medicianl quality of it. ( most folks won't tell ya that) You will have to seriously "think outside the box" and make up some crazy food combos for you. I actually was on a protein liquid diet and ate only a hand full of food at a time some 7-8 times a day. I had a bowl of nuts by my bed, got raw unsalted ones at healthstore. Mixed dry fruits with it and it soften the stools a bit to help with digestion. I took my vitamins at night with a sleeping pill (OK by Dr) so that the pain of digestion would not keep me up. I laid only on my left side. Its better for circulation. Make this recipe- Rice with chicken broth (low sodium) with an entire fresh parsley chopped into it. Eat it with every meal, it will help you. I added pine nuts or walnuts to mine, for protein. I had a serious digestive issue as well, I ate three tablespoons of food and 1/2 cup of drink at a time. that's it. So I didn't waste any time on "crap food or empty water". Cut back on the acid food, tomatoes were killer to me. Use natural real foods if you can, pills are hard to digest- I took liquid vitamins for months.
