Horrible Indigestion

[djbaby2011]

Hi all,

I am desperate, 18 weeks pregnant and I currently have the worst indigestion... I have vomited 3 times now, from the acid creeping up into my throat .
Does any one know how to combat this?

Kind Regards Jess

Try some gaviscon. It soothes the digestive tract and also forms a barrier to help keep the acid down in the tum.

Learn your triggers - tomato, cola, pineapple - really, anything acidy are bad at this. Eat small meals frequently instead of big meals less often. Speak to your phamacist and work out which flavour of gaviscon / mylanta you like. And don't eat too close to bedtime!

Good luck - I'm usually awake until 3am cause of heartburn

Absolutely - Learn your triggers!! Also get yourself to docs and get him to write a prescription for some Nexium. Its the absolute best and you wont know how you've done without it!! Also short term solutions - drink full cream milk or have a couple of spoonfuls of full strength cream. Good luck luv!!

Thanks for the ideas girls.. I think the biggest trigger for me is pasta sauces.... I had Gnocchi the other night and that killed me...
