    I suddenly got hit with bad heartburn at around 22 weeks and for a week I took 1-2 tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar mixed in a glass of water after meals and not only did it help me at the time but I haven't had heartburn since (I'm 25 + 4 now) except the rare acid up my throat here and there (VERY rare though! Once it was after I had nutella which sets HB off for me).

    Worth a try I think. I tried other home remedies and even gaviscon tablets and liquid and they didn't help much. Eating a handful of almonds after hb had hit helped once or twice but nothing worked for me as well as apple cider vinegar. Probably worth mentioning I did also try and cut back on things I knew would set my hb off as well as sleeping slightly elevated at night.

    Thanks.

    Do the fruit tingles really work?

    dot face - I usually drink ACV like it's cordial, but it burns going down and then meets the acid coming back up. I'll give it a go though. I already sleep on a wedge pillow to keep me propped up. I have pregnancy rhinitis, which is disgusting and I can't breathe properly lying down flat.

    Fruit tingles work for me until I eat something else and it flares up again.
