Heartburn

For those that suffer heartburn do you have foods that trigger it off???

Im only 8 weeks and had the worse heartburn last night so slept sitting up.

I also had bad heartburn all pregnancy with dd, but i cant remember what foods use to set it off

Thanks

My mum got bad heartburn and she took titrilac, and ate them like lollies lol Your MW can give you a script for them.

ok thanks ladies. I used titrilac with dd but it didnt seem to help too much. Might get some though its better than nothing.

Looks like ill have another baby with a head full of hair

I took ranitine, it stopped it almost entirely until right near the end, its available on script or at the pharmacy

Ugh,heartburn, I get bad heartburn every time, the type that wakes me in the middle of the night.
For me it seems to be acidic foods/drinks and spicy foods,but then its also weetbix,water,ricies etc etc....with C I had titralac,loved them,almost got addicted
With Ty gaviscon seemed to work for it and with this one the only thing that works is milk , which pleases my DH immensley when im going through a 3L nearly every day ....

Is Rantadine the same as Zantax? cos that doesn't work for me.

Oh and, 2 things, I TOTAL WIVESTALE ...I had really bad heartburn with both,C and she was as bald as an egg..didn't get hair till she was over a year old .
,Ty had lots of hair and it took 3 days AFTER Ty was born for my heartburn to go

pretty much any food or drink is setting me off at the moment (and has done for months).Water is the absolute worst.
No eating or drinking within an hour or two of bed helps a little.
i prefer the gaviscon tablets to the liquid - they seem to work better for me (now no-one say i'm not supposed to be taking them, please)

I've heard something somewhere about pawpaw but not sure what or where or even if it was pawpaw (yeah super helpful I know)

Edit to add: At one stage the reflux was so severe I was spewing whole meals up thinking it was still morning sickness but realising a little later it was reflux. I had to start taking something before I ate so I could eat and keep it down.

Liquid Gaviscon for me too...
I found that sweet things seemed to set it off. Milk was great too for easing things. I remember sleeping upright in bed, but fortunately not til towards the end, you poor thing.

Have you talked to your midwife? or GP? They should have the answers! All the best...

Not sure if someone else has already said but eating almonds is suppose to help whilst it's happening.

I had tomato soup for dinner and now I have terrible heartburn, first time this pregnancy, guess it must have just been too acidic.

Raw almonds work a treat! or a little bit of fresh pineapple also.
Paw paw tablets which you buy at a health store are fantastic!

Does anyone know about quickeze? are we allowed to take those?

With Ty I still had it 3 days AFTER giving birth .

Im sick of heartburn,and the only thing that helps a bit is milk,im going through almost 3litres a day and well, milk isn't cheap.
DH looked up heartburn relief and triggers last night and basically anything fatty, spicy ,acidic sets it off, water always sets it off for me too,im up every half hour at night going out to the kitchen to skull back more milk ,but apparently sleeping with your head more elevated helps as well,so I will try that and your lemon honey ginger concoction Rachel
