Hi Tari,

I had the same problem recently so I did a little research: heartburn is caused by several different factors such as certain foods, smoking or stress. To manage it you could try some of the following:

-frequent smaller meals instead of 3 large ones
-eat slowly
-eat at least 3 hours before bedtime as your last meal
-extra pillow at night to keep head elevated
-drink luke-warm water or herbal tea after dinner
-wear looser-fitting clothes
-avoid ‘trigger’ foods such as: chocolate (I know!), sugars, onion, citrus fruits / juices, peppermint, coffee, alcohol, fried and fatty foods, mustard, vinegar, tomatoes, spicy foods, processed meats

Hope this helps and good luck with your pregnancy!

remedy answers:

Finding out what is the cause of your heartburn is the first step to helping to ease it. Try keeping a food diary for a few days and note down how you feel after eating certain foods. Foods that are commonly found to irritate the stomach are sugar, wheat, refined white flour (bread, pasta, pastries) but some people have reactions to tomatoes, red peppers and other fruit and vegetables.

Many people eat on the go – they either don’t have or don’t make the opportunity to sit down, relax, chew and digest their meals. This is an important part of digestion, as your saliva helps break the food down into a more digestible form for your stomach. Stress is also a contributing factor in heartburn as it tends to ‘clamp’ the body’s functions – this affects the natural, healthy function of digestion, among many other things.

Try Peppermint tea, one cup with each meal. It’s available in most supermarkets and health food stores in tea bag form. Peppermint is a digestive and helps to calm inflammation in the digestive tract. Another option is Chamomile tea, which is also anti-inflammatory. If you continue to get heartburn, try Slippery Elm. This is ground tree bark which has a wonderfully soothing effect on the digestive tract. It is available both as a powder and in tablet form, neither of which are unpleasant but the tablets are easier to carry with you.

If you’ve kept a food diary and cut down on alcohol, sugar and white flour products and still can’t seem to pin down what is causing your heartburn, it’s a good idea to see your GP.

remedy answers:

Blanched almonds! They are good for you and they really do stop the heartburn! When I was pregnant (many years ago) I kept a package next to my bed and in my purse at all times. I ate a hand full anytime I had heartburn – day or night. Maybe someone else who reads this can explain why it works – all I know is it does. :}

remedy answers:

Try drinking some whole milk. Milk is a base and tends to neutralize the acid.

remedy answers:

Anything minty should help, but if it continues you should see the doctor.

Not trying to scare you but I had chronic heartburn ended up in casualty,they sent me home with gaviscon this happened twice more, the last time I went I said I wasn’t going home I asked for more tests to be done and was scanned and they found gall stones. 3 weeks later I was back in hospital having my gall bladder removed.My surgeon said I was one of the youngest ladies he had operated on for this condition and I was only 30.

If it goes on for too long get it checked out.

remedy answers:

Your on the right track. Hearburn is actually your stomach swelling up from gas. It presses against the heart. This condition is a result of not having enough hydrocloric acid in the stomach to digest the food. This is just the beginning of more problems. Eating too much food, in one meal, makes it hard for the stomach to digest it. Another problem related to this is the bodies inability to assimulate protein properly. When protein is broken down into amino acids, the body uses these amino acids to make digestive fluids like the hyrochloric acid in the stomach. It’s a vicious circle. No hydrochloric acid in the stomach, not amino acids, not production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. You can buy supplements that boost the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. They come in capsule or pill form. Also check the intestines and colon for good health. When the stomach doesn’t work well the rest of the tube has problems too.

remedy answers:

1: Eliminate dairy products from your diet until the digestive system is healed.
#2: Drink eight large glasses of water a day.
#3: Take 400 IU a day of vitamin E to reduce inflammation in the stomach.
#4: If your gastritis is caused by anemia, take supplemental chlorophyll two capsules three times a day, and follow the recommendations under anemia.
#5: Licorice (DGL) helps heal the gastrointestinal tract chew 300 to 600 mg. 30 minutes before meals. This herb is also use to treat ulcers. Licorice is as effective as Tagamet.
#6: Take Artichoke if you feel abdominal pain, bloating or to relive vomiting, and nausea.

remedy answers:

Have a Gavascon ( i don’t know how to spell it but it sounds like that)

remedy answers:

Try drinking lots of water when it starts and elevating your head if you are in bed and it starts. Mine got so bad that my doctor ended up giving me a prescription for it, zantac, I only take it when I feel the heart burn coming on and it takes it away pretty quick.

Also, try not to eat 2 hours before bed, sometimes it helps. The nice thing, once baby drops it will get better. My baby dropped earlier this week and I only got heartburn yesterday and it was the first time in a few days.

remedy answers:

Try milk….. It worked for my wife with our kids..

remedy answers:

Try alkaline foods, such as yogurt or milk, to ease the burning. If these do not work, try mildly acidic foods, such as orange, pineapple, or tomato juice. Papaya contains digestive enzymes and may be eaten fresh or in tablet form.
• Dried, salted umeboshi plums from Japan, available from health-food shops, are a great aid to digestion. A tea made from one cup of boiled water and one umeboshi plum can be flavoured with tamari and drunk hot or cold.
• In cases of severe heartburn, eating proteins and carbohydrates separately at different times during the day may help to improve digestion. Vegetables may be combined with either proteins or carbohydrates, but fruit is best eaten at the beginning rather than at the end of a meal.
• Herbalism One teaspoon of slippery elm powder mixed with water or milk will neutralise the stomach. An infusion of meadowsweet will also have a digestive, soothing effect.
• Homeopathy Take either Arsenicum 6C or Natrum phosphoricum 6C three times daily, stopping when symptoms start to improve. If there is no improvement, consult a homeopath.
• Shiatsu Apply pressure to the point PC6 (see Carpal tunnel syndrome) and ask your partner to shiatsu the stomach meridian (see below).

Helper: With your partner sitting on the floor with her back supported, place one hand on her upper thigh. Using the thumb of your other hand, shiatsu along the stomach meridian (shown). Concentrate on pressing the point Stomach 36 (ST36), located four fingers’ width below the kneecap in the indentation on the outside of the shin bone.

remedy answers:

Evidently you have gastritis with gastro-esophageal reflux disease.
If gastritis symptoms continue, antacids are sometimes recommended, while Histamine (H2) blockers have received a lot of attention for stomach problems to prevent the acid formation.

What is an enzyme?
Enzymes are protein molecules that are necessary for life. Without enzymes we wouldn’t be able to eat, breathe, drink or digest our food. There are enzymes naturally present in all raw foods. These enzymes help our bodies properly digest the foods we eat. As a result of poor dietary habits, microbial contamination, and the world’s fixation with fast foods, we just are not getting enough raw foods in our diets.

Unfortunately for us, the ability to digest our foods properly decreases as we get older. Foods you loved when you were younger may now give you gas and bloating. Researchers also believe that as our body works overtime to make up for the lack of enzymes in the food we eat, that extra stress puts pressure on our immune system, making it harder to fight off illness and disease.

——————————————————————————–

What Are Probiotics?
You might think that all bacteria is bad for your body, but that is far from the truth. The word probiotic means “in favor, or support of life.”Millions of “good” bacteria exist in your body, helping us to fight off disease, produce vitamins, metabolize hormones, nourish new cells, and produce enzymes that help food with digestion. Without good bacteria, the harmful microorganisms would take over our bodily functions, making us extremely ill. Antibiotics by nature kill all bacteria, even the good. Food sensitivities, arthritis, excessive flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome, and auto-immune diseases are just a few of the conditions that can be caused by a disruption in good bacteria.

Congratulations Rae! There are a few schools of thought as to why people get heartburn. 1- not enough good flora or bacteria in your stomach, 2- too much acidity, 3- believe it or not, too little acidity. With your pregnancy in mind then, there are 3 possible things that could work. For me, baking soda neutralizes stomach acid so quickly, it’s like a miracle when I’m in pain – and if I am going to throw up, IT STOPS IT! Then, if it’s that you need good bacteria in your stomach, good old yogurt with live bacteria is both healthy for you and baby, and therefore potentially helpful. Lastly; and obviously be careful with this one as you know your body better; believe it or not, cayenne pepper has “capsaicin,” a substance that blocks the bodies production of something called “Substance-P” which is scientifically proven to be the carrier of pain signals to the brain, therefore until the body can replenish it’s supply of Substance-P, pain will be minimized. While all have their logic and merit, I would still recommend baking soda as the safest, fastest, sure fire way…just a half to whole teaspoon in 6-8 ounces of water and that’s it. By the way, if you are very acidic, when you drink the mixture, it will taste sweeter than you would think. That’s it neutralizing your acid, so the sweeter the taste, the more acidic you’ve been. Hope it helps:)

remedy answers:

Mix 1/4 of a teaspoon of Baking Soda into warm water. Stir it up and take a sip. It tastes like salt-water…

Baking SODA, not powder

remedy answers:

Icy cold water
Spoonfull or two of ice cream
Baking soda and water

And don’t lay down! Sit up in a good chair to help keep the acid from rising into your throat.
