acid reflux

[joannalovesyou]

if i eat anything more than a TEENY TINY portion of food, my throat is filled with this horrible taste for an hour or so afterwards.

is this acid reflux? how are we possibly supposed to be eating enough food to build up energy for labor when our stomachs are so small that we're never hungry, and when we do eat, we get heartburn or reflux?

It's actually normal to lose weight the last month. I only gained 1 lb. total my last month. Aside from that, you can try papaya enzyme, or pepsid ac or prilosec. Prilosec was a lifesaver for me.

Pepcid has worked wonders for me. It's about $4 for the store brand.

Ugh, heartburn sucks. But I swear, it'll just disappear as soon as that babe comes out. More pushing power, maybe?
I feel you, though. I get it when I eat, I get it if I don't eat. There's really no winning for me.

okay, i'll buy some pepcid today. thanks, mamas.

i realized this isn't heartburn i feel (its not in my chest, its in my tummy area/food pipe going up to my throat...ick...probably like you are feeling...) but this is probably acid indigestion. tums seems to relieve.
