Heartburn?!!

BabyBebe1

I'm getting the worst heartburn and it wakes me up at night and makes me generally unhappy. I'm trying to figure out what foods cause it the most, so as to try to avoid those foods (unless of course they are too good to pass up). Last night I had tomato soup and it was miserable. I thought it was spicy stuff that caused it, but maybe it's things that are acidic like tomatoes. Any thoughts?

I had it last time too and DS was born with lots of hair if anyone is curious for a data point on that wives tale. Maybe it's a true one!

Tomato will do it to me.  I had a hot fudge sundae last night for dinner and I woke with heartburn pain and a bad headache....and I am on Nexium!

Oh ya! U don't want to eat spicy or acidic foods. I know it didn't matter for my dh though he use to get heartburn with eveything

For me it happens whenever I eat too much of anything - curry, oranges, cupcakes, salad...  Specific item doesn't matter, but quantity does.

Anything with a cream based sauce tends to cause it for me.

If you look on line you will find lists of food that cause heartburn.  I have really been trying to avoid them and it does help SOME! 

 Some of the fods on the list are

Tomatoe based products

Spicy fod

Greasy food

Citrus fruits

Ice cream

chocolate etc...

I think I'd rather suffer heartburn than avoid all these foods...this is depressing!

marinara and tacos are two really bad triggers for me. However, milk and mustard will usually cut the HB out - weird, but it works.
