    What to eat? ~bad reflux~

    Hello...

    I haven't eaten since 4pm because I have this horrible burning, acidity lump in my throat from reflux and have no appetite.

    I know I need to eat, and have walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge a dozen times but the thought of anything just makes me gag!

    Any suggestions?!

    Try and drink the lemon lime solo!!
    When I was pregnant with dd I had it that bad that even if I coughed I would spew everywhere I found that the solo would subside it enough to be comfortable to eat abit. Also maybe TMI but I used to spew just to release it abit, not pretty I know, but it can work. And also soda water..
    I have a whole list lol

    Oh I can so feel your pain, I remember it like it was this morning that's how bad it was..
    Also try laying down but elect the lower part of your body so your sort of on angel which may cause the acid too move abit.
    Are you taking gaviscon? Anything like that? Also drink some milk too lol
    Sorry bombarding you

    I just feel so guilty too! Cos i'm not eating and bubs needs food

    I don't have any antacid stuff in the house at all. I never had any problems till the last few weeks of this pg. Everything I read online just says it will go when bubs is born.... that could be up to 4 weeks away !!!

    Yeah, I am not an eater, meaning I don't wat all day till dinner, and when I'm pregnant it's worse because I would remember I ate but would think it was that morning Itms? Lol I would convince myself that it was but couldn't explain why I felt like I was going to faint!

    I recommend you go get gaviscon, I used to drink the stuff! I used to get the big bottle from woolies, the fluid one not the tablets and it really did help.. Is it more reflux or heartburn turning into reflux? I had bad heartburn that would send acid straight up and let me tell you my dd was born with a mop of black Lucious black hair, even now it looks like a wig! She is 5 1/2 months and I can braid it, tie it everything drives me crazy!! Lol
    Yeah as soon as I had amali it went straight away, but in the mean time it's the most disgusting feeling ever...

    Soooo I didn't sleep at all last night because of this bile reflux
    I kept feeling like I was going to choke to death in my sleep on my own bile.
    Got my 38 week antenatal appointment this afternoon so I'll bring it up with them.

    Milk helps HEAPS but is not as good as the medicinal stuff. I had quickease my last pg, but this time it is Zantac for me. One tablet before bed does the trick, otherwise like you I would just stay up all night trying not to vomit up acid. If you are stuck, have a glass of milk, even have it warmed up a little, and prop yourself up in bed if you can (bit hard when you have a huge tummy to contend with, I know ).

    Good luck babe, I feel your pain!

    Oh, I didnt try any milk, I thought it was bad to eat/drink fatty things?? I'll give it a go.

    DH made me some dry toast, celery and soda water before he went to work, and I managed to get about 2hrs sleep propped up on lots of pillows.
    Just have to get through till bubs comes!!
