    Thanks everyone for the inputs. I shall def ask my ob-gyn about the zyntac and pepacid complete.
    I shall also try the cold milk remedy. I have however reduced the masalas and spicies in my food since i became pregnant and also I am taking lot of curd with rice or as smoothies.
    I am hoping that my heart burn will go away soon.

    Heartburn Home remedies in Pregnancy

    Hello Friends,

    I am right now going through Heartburn:drowning from past few days. Wanted to know what are the foods that I should avoid and which ones are good for heartburn.

    Is it ok to eat dal, rice, chapati?? or even they cause heartburn?

    Please advice. :) Thanks!

    everyones body is different.. eat whatever makes u comfortable..
    I would avoid very spicy food with masalas...
    eat yoghurt / lassi (it is supposed to cool the insides )

    No matter what you do , you cant avoid heart burn.... something you gt to live with thru pregnancy.

    just take some tums or anti-acids for relief.

    Acid reflux !

    Hello all,

    I am suffering from bad acid reflux, i get a constant feeling of some food trapped in my chest (some ind of choking feeling). Its been very uncomfortable .... i consulted my doctor on this issue and he recommended some acid reducers but it has been of no help.

    I have totally changed my diet habits .... i eat no spicy/junk/fatty foods as well as try to eat something at frequent intervals..... but this problem keeps irritating me. Sometimes i end up puking which gives some momentary relief.

    Please ladies suggest some remedies..... this is eating up my mind.

    Re: Acid reflux !

    Vaidehi, try eating bananas and drinking buttermilk when you have acidity and do not drink milk as it aggravates acidity sometimes. Do not add any additives to the buttermilk, just salt and you can add fried and powdered methi seeds as it helps cooling the system.
    Do be on empty stomach any time. If you feel the acidic pain then have a banana immediately.
    Hope this helps.
