Q: Darn Heartburn!

I am getting so sick of this heartburn. I have to take pepcid everyday and that doesn't seem to be doing the trick anymore. For the past few nights, I have felt like I needed to vomit because the heartburn has gotten so bad!! I never had heartburn with Nathan.

I feel for you... my heartburn has gotten so bad I cry almost everynight at bedtime (that's when it seems to get worse).
I don't really have any suggestions except for really pay attention to what your eating, even though it may not be what usually causes heartburn , with pregnancy anything goes... I can't even eat doritos and I want them so bad!
If you pay closer attention to food you may learn what types make it the worst ... but if your anything like me, somedays you can drink a bottle of water and get it! Sad
I hope you feel better!

How far along are you again? I am now 26 weeks.

I am pretty bad at watching what I eat. My favorites are onions and mustard. That is my all around craving this time around - sounds gross, huh?? It's probably the worst thing for heartburn. I haven't had any spicy food or onions for four days now and the heartburn is still bad. Dorritos sound so good...thanks for sparking a craving I can't have .. ha ha. I do need to pay closer attention to what I eat. I get heartburn worse in the evening.

People did give me some good suggestions on my last posting about heartburn about four weeks back. I am just still complaining and venting. I will probably be doing that until I deliver!!

I'm 29wks ... so we're pretty close!
Thats so funny because I've been putting mustard on EVERYTHING!
I usually dip any meat in bbq sauce but lately it's been mustard... now I'm sure THAT sounds gross! Laughing
Yea I want doritos so bad, I just eat tortilla chips instead... not the same though!
Vent and complain all you want, I'll do it with ya!

It's so funny , spicy foods and a lot of non spicy foods Confused give me heartburn.
anything sweet gives me gut rot.
I've become the biggest cry baby ever!

Have you tried drinking milk? I know a lot of people don't like milk, but I thought it was worth asking. It seems to help me sometimes.

Craving mustard seemed like such a strange craving...glad I am not alone on that one!! Meat in mustard - that really sounds good to me! How strange. I am also a big cry baby lately. I have heartburn really bad as I type this. I need another Pepcid!

I usually have milk with cereal in the morning but that is about it. I will try that.

Thanks for the link Azure. I actually ate a York peppermint patty yesterday. Mint is something the article states to stay away from. I didn't know that. I am craving all those bad things...spicy foods, mint, caffeine, onions, mustard.

Salt acid? I have never heard of that either. I guess I have been eating a lot more "bad" things that would exasperate heartburn than I had originally thought!

Make it go away!!!!!!

I crave honey mustard so I guess I don't see it as strange to crave plain mustard.

I get heartburn too, but I am starting to be able to tune it out so I don't think it is that bad.

The power of the mind! It may be a while or perhaps never that I can tune this heartburn out. I wish I could. Perhaps I am not busy enough!
