Acid reflux

At 38 weeks + 1 and still struggling daily with acid reflux. Medicine to tame it barely works these days to ease the reflux. Anyone else going through the same thing? What do you do about it?

Eating foods that are high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can help reduce acid reflux symptoms. High fiber fruits that are safe to eat during pregnancy include apples, pears, oranges, bananas, raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Additionally, dried fruits such as apricots, dates, and prunes are also high in fiber and can be eaten during pregnancy. High fiber vegetables that are safe to eat during pregnancy include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, kale, artichokes, peas, sweet potatoes, and squash. Additionally, legumes such as lentils, beans, and chickpeas are also high in fiber and can be eaten during pregnancy. High fiber grains that are safe to eat during pregnancy include oats, quinoa, barley, bulgur, and brown rice. Additionally, whole wheat bread, pasta, and crackers are also high in fiber and can be eaten during pregnancy. Hope your acid reflux gets better soon. :)

Best of luck and feel better soon!

If medications are not working to reduce your acid reflux symptoms, your doctor may recommend other treatments such as lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and natural remedies. Lifestyle changes may include avoiding certain foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down after eating. Dietary modifications may include avoiding spicy foods, acidic foods, and fatty foods. Natural remedies may include drinking herbal teas, taking probiotics, and eating foods that are high in fiber.
