I am fighting that age-old enemy, heartburn. I was wondering if anyone has any natural remedies for short-term relief. I'm not looking for medical advice or medications. This is caused by pregnancy and I've only got a couple weeks left. Once the baby is out, the heartburn will go away. Here are some things that won't work for me:
"Don't eat right before bed." -I eat right before bed & still wake up in the middle of the night and need to eat something before I can get back to sleep. If I don't eat right before bed I'll just wake up that much sooner in need of a snack.
"Don't eat acidic foods." -Doesn't seem to matter if I eat plain bread or drink a full glass of OJ, the heartburn comes no matter what.
Heartburn Medications -Most aren't safe for pregnancy
I've been taking Tums as needed, but they're starting to feel like a food group, so I was wondering if anyone knows any foods or drinks that naturally ease heartburn. I appreciate any input! Thanks!
