What foods or drinks caused the worst heartburn for you during your pregnancy?
Posted on June 4th, 2009 by Beth Goodwill under Q&AI am 26 weeks pregnant, and EVERYTHING I eat or drink causes bad heartburn for me. EVEN WATER!!!
I do take Tums, but don't like to take them a lot because they can cause kidney/bladder stones.
What foods/drinks should I completely avoid? What foods/drinks help?

tea gave me the worst heartburn EVER, but i couldn't stop drinking it. My remedy was just to drink an ice cold bottle of water after having a cup of tea…but if water isn't doing it for you, you could try ginger ale, it absorbs gastric acid. Here is a site that i found to be very helpful:

with my first pregnancy, i really don't recall having heartburn. with my second, i just had to look at food and i'd get heartburn. i think bread caused the worst heartburn. my doctor told me to take rolaids. i must have been popping those things like candy! i didn't leave home without a whole bottle. the only thing that finally relieved it was his birth!

I never had heartburn when pregnant nor hemorrhoids either; instead I vomited twice a day..yippy!! For your heartburn maybe try to avoid caffeine, citric juices, fried food, or foods with too much seasoning. One thing that always made me vomit was anything with vinegar or high acidity like OJ. Can you take Mylanta or only tums while pregnant?..I dont remember but Tums never did anything for me..Congrats! =)

THIS IS MY THIRD PREGNANCY AND I FOUND OUT, (ACCIDENT LY) THAT CHEWING GUM HELPS! I HATE ACID REFLUX WITH EVERYTHING! TUMS I AM NOT FOND OF, BECAUSE OF THE CHALK FEELING(NOT TASTE) AND I HAVEN'T HAD IT TOO MUCH THIS TIME. WITH MY SECOND PREGNANCY I HAD IT ALL THE TIME AND DOWNED BOTTLES OF TUMS, AND CRIED BECAUSE IT HURT. I HOPE THIS HELPS
