Gerd

Here are some things to try: Change your eating habits. It's best to eat several small meals instead of two or three large meals. After you eat, wait 2 to 3 hours before you lie down. Late-night snacks aren't a good idea. Chocolate and mint can make GERD worse. They relax the valve between the esophagus and the stomach. Spicy foods, foods that have a lot of acid (like tomatoes and oranges), and coffee can make GERD symptoms worse in some people. If your symptoms are worse after you eat a certain food, you may want to stop eating that food to see if your symptoms get better. Do not smoke or chew tobacco. If you have GERD symptoms at night, raise the head of your bed 6 in. (15 cm) to 8 in. (20 cm) by putting the frame on blocks or placing a foam wedge under the head of your mattress. (Adding extra pillows does not work.) Try over-the-counter antacids for heartburn symptoms. Be careful when you take over-the-counter antacid medicines. Many of these medicines have aspirin in them. While you are pregnant, do not take aspirin or medicines that contain aspirin unless your doctor says it is okay. During pregnancy, do not use antacids that have sodium bicarbonate (such as baking soda), because they can cause fluid buildup. Do not use antacids that have magnesium trisilicate, because they may not be safe for your baby. It is okay to use antacids that have calcium carbonate (such as Tums). Some doctors may recommend the prescription drug sucralfate, along with lifestyle changes and nonprescription medicines, for treating GERD symptoms during pregnancy
