Home Remedy For Heartburn

Q.What's your remedy for pregnancy heartburn? I have terrible heartburn and with my last pregnancy, I took lots of Tums which my doc said was ok, but I was wondering what natural remedies work just as good. Oh-it's not just spicy foods I have to avoid-I get heartburn from even drinking water!! It's everything that causes it~ So can anyone in the group help me please?

A.I know exactly what you mean. Even if I dont eat something (when I went for a glucose test) I get heartburn. I have been drinking milk and that helps tons. And, peppermints also help. I keep those soft ones at my desk and suck on those. But, like you said water even brings it on too Drink a glass of milk with your dinner. Also, eat smaller meals and eat slowly. As your baby grows, he/she causes your organs to be pushed up & allows less room for your actual stomach to expand. its caused by the hormones and the fact that the uteris is pushing your stomach up toward your throat. I have had terrible heart burn sense about three months, so I feel your pain. However, I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I have to say that sticking to a low sugar diet and eating five times a day (smaller protions) has help. also drink a lot of water and try a liquid antacid.my doc has me on mylanta, but you can ask yours if there is one they prefer.
