Acid Refulx

Have you targeted specific foods that cause you to have acid reflux?

I feel as though sugar, sauces, peanut butter and chocolate are my main culprits.

Most of the time its not horrible but sometimes I wind up waking up at night almost choking because my acid refulx is so bad.

I have been taking TUMS and maalox but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Re: Acid Refulx

  • this is new to me (ive never had this problem before pregnancy) but sometimes my throat feels like it's burning - is that acid reflux or heartburn? I usually just take a tums. It seems to only happen at night, and when I go from sitting to laying. It's weird. I don't feel like specific foods trigger it because it happens after I drink so much as water!

  • Everything I eat or drink gives me heartburn or acid reflux. It sucks! I take Zantac 150, with Tums in between doses.

  • I wake up with reflux/heartburn almost every day. It was triggered by certain foods, but then it got to where all food and drinks were triggering it. Pepcid AC has been a lifesaver during this pregnancy.

  • Never had this problem with my other pregnancies...but now it's a daily thing. It even GAGS me!

    I have targeted these foods: Pizza, Spaghetti, steak, donuts, subs, cereal, bread, milk, soda..........water

    EVERYTHING!

    It's so annoying. It doesn't always burn...but it gets so far up, I hate when it makes me gag!

    Acid reflux and heartburn are basically all one in the same.  And sometimes it doens't burn...my actually makes my inner ear hurt and jaw (kind of like TMJ)  and a soar throat.

    You can take Zantac, it helps, sometimes Tums just ins't enough. 

  • I have it REALLY BAD.  I was up for hours last night puking because of acid reflux.  I take a generic Pepcid AC and tums, but last nigh neither helped.
