Banana causing heartburn?

[Cherished]

Hi girls, I've been getting heartburn pretty much since the begining of the 2nd tri but have recently considered that it may be banana causing it? I havn't 'ested my theroy much yet but I had one this morning and got the heartburn not long after. I read on the net that banana can actually be soothing for heartburn so am wondering if anyone else has a problem with them?

I can get heartburn from a glass of water on a bad day, so a banana could definately do it! What is soothing for one person can be a trigger for another. Is't the human body wonderful!

i agree- absolutling anthign can give you heartburn- i thnk in last tri- it's more the position of bubs too

I didnt when pregnant but agree on a bad day water will do it! DH gets heartburn from banana's all the time but he isnt pregnant....or at least I dont know about it

My brother told us to eat a small amount of licorice when you have heartburn. It does work most of the time. Might be worth a try if you like it.

I got heartburn from bananas while pg with DS3, it had never done it before...

also fruit tingles can help with heartburn... I too get it from bananas, not as bad this tri but with the last 2 it was horrendus!

yes i have had heartburn all threw my pregnacy bananas defently set mine off & dairy its terrible i take the tumms tablets they work well

[Dansta]

yep, they've done it to me also.
but on a bad day anything will give me heart burn. (even mylanta!) it could also be bubs pressing on something meaning less room for food! tums = best thing ever for heart burn....i say that knowing you can take something like 16 tabs of them to help keep it at bay.

Thanks for all of your replies girls! I'm glad I am figuring this out now at the beginning of the 3rd tri cause I figure it will only get worse and I may as well cut out the stuff that I know is causing it. I will get some tums AND fruit tingles

LilyDust I sure hope he's not pregnant HAHA

My aunty, who is not pregnant, gets heartburn from bananas but not the small sugar bananas. So if you still want to eat bananas, try them instead
