Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Hi,

I forgot to say to avoid eating steaks and things that are hard to digest too.

You can have them now and then but try not to eat them too often.

You do need an iron source though.

Hope this helps

There are a couple of really good natural remedies that work like a dream for reflux during pregnancy. The info you found on why it is caused during pregnancy is exactly right - the hormones alter the oesophageal sphincter tone and also the further you get in pregnancy the more the baby pushes up on on your stomach causing more reflux.
If you are anywhere near the Belly Belly Pregnancy centre in Canterbury, Melbourne do come in and see us I am in on Tuesdays and Nicole Tracy on Thursdays. We'd love to help!
Best wishes.

Hi,

Just thought i would pop back in and tell you how my stomach is now that ive had my baby.

The reflux that i had during pregnancy eased off enormously as soon as she was born. I have had it once or twice in the last 13 days but before it was every time i ate.

My stomach is still sore though. They halved my meds and the stomach pain has increased like it was doing when i was pregnant. So i will have to go to the dr to get it all looked into further.

I hope you are going ok
