Heartburn - Good vs Evil Food & Beverages

[Tillytots]

Im sure I am making my heartburn worse by eating/drinking things - its chronic the docs is shut and Ive run out of Gaviscon and have no money until Monday so I just have to drink milk and avoid these killer foods.

So far I think the offending items might be:

Marmite
Orange Juice
Pineapple Juice

Can anyone add to the list of things to avoid?

ANYTHING Mexican. I went out to a lovely restaurant with work 2 weeks ago and spent the entire night following like my throat was on fire. I seem to be fine with OJ.

Tillytots,
I feel for you hun, I really do!

I got it sooo bad in 3rd Tri that it affected my asthma!

If you can get to the docs on Monday, ask for something better than gaviscon, and they might prescribe lansaprazole........magic tablets!

If your skinto, try going to your local chemist and asking if they do the Minor Ailments Scheme. It means that people who receive free prescriptions can get things free from the pharmacy. You should be able to get a nice big bottle of gaviscon to see you through the weekend!

Keep it in the fridge so it's nice and cold when you really need it!

thankyou for the advice ladies

I eat all the foods on the good food list so I'll stick to that I think for a week and see what difference it makes. I drink tea which is bad for it and not enough water I always have juice instead. When bubs drops hopefully I'll get some relief

I find that drinking a glass of milk really really helps

 

[Babylicious]

drinking milk or eating bananas should help

 

[Princess_Puddles]

Don't eat anything acidy or things hard to digest because these both produce more acid to help digest things.

 

[purple13]

white bread is a killer for me...

 

[Ginnymarie]

bananas help me, orange juice is a killer

Tomato soup
Sausage rolls

But the one thing i find gives me the worst heartburn is Bananas.

 

[Louise_a]

for me its:

any fruit juice
white bread
curry
pizza
apples
fizzy drinks
crisps
pastry of any sort
a sip of alcohol

milk is good or greek style yoghurt........... esp with some honey mmm
