Ok so shopping list time haha fruit tingles, chewable quick eze, milk and lots of it...

My heartburn was so bad last night I was in tears I couldn't stand up properly it hurt that bad....

Will also mention it at my next OB appt.

Thanks for all the ideas ladies xx

anything oily or lots of chilli sets me off...which is AWFUL because the only craving I've had lately is LOADS of chilli on EVERYTHING and ANYTHING!!

Early on in pregnancy, Rennie tablets and Farmers Union Iced Coffee worked a treat.

At about 20 weeks when I couldn't sleep because of the nasty heartburn, I asked my osteopath if he had any tips...

He said boil about 1tsp of aniseeds in a few cups of water, then drink it...you can even leave it to cool and drink it cold if you like...but seriously...MIRACLE...no more heartburn. Especially great for me since I LOVE licquorice

When I was PG, someone suggested Fruit Tingles - you know those lollies? Well, it worked! And I was ADDICTED to them!!!! But be warned, too many makes your poo can be like a laxative effect...

I also found fizzy drinks helped. I drank ice cold coke like it was going out of fashion!!! Next time I'll stick to fizzy water!

I'm finding this time I've had NO heartburn! I don't eat ANYTHING premade. What I do eat is all gluten, dairy, refined sugar, soy and corn free. Last 2 pregnancies were hell with the HB!!!! I stay away from oranges during pregnancy, too much acidity... I have lots of peppermint and camomile tea too.

chewing gum helps me because it makes more saliva in the mouth while you chew which is supposed to be one of the best (and natural) methods are fighting it. from what i've heard anyways.
