I have bad acidity and bloating since few days and my period is also slightly late. Now im not sure if its just my usual gas problem ya something else. Has anyone confused the two?
Yes, absolutely. Bloating, nausea, and stomach burning are classic signs of both gastritis and early pregnancy, because progesterone slows down digestion. Better to do a quick home urine test to be sure.
It's very common to confuse the two because early pregnancy hormones cause severe acidity. Just be very careful and avoid taking random acidity pills without a doctor's guidance, please take care.
Oh, I went crazy searching Google about this! I had terrible bloating and stomach ache, thought it was just acidity from spicy food but it turned out to be my positive test. Just do a home test to ease your mind.
Honestly, before I found out I was pregnant, I thought I just had bad gas from outside food! Only when my period got delayed I realized it was actually pregnancy, so it's very easy to confuse them.
Please don't guess or self-medicate for what you think is gastritis. If you are sexually active and missed your date, consult your gynac for a blood test or checkup first.
