I eat a banana every morning but lately my heartburn has been really bad and im wondering if its connected. Im in 2nd trimester. Anyone else feel worse after bananas or is it something else?
Bananas usually dont cause heartburn, theyre often soothing actually. Heartburn in pregnancy is mostly from the hormones and the baby pushing up. Eat smaller meals, dont lie down right after eating, that helped me more than avoiding any one food.
For me bananas actually helped settle my stomach, they didnt cause heartburn. But everyone is different, some find them heavy. Try one and see how your body reacts, food triggers are so personal in pregnancy.
Beta, in our homes banana is considered cooling for the stomach, not heartburn causing. For mild acidity I used to take a little cold milk or small frequent meals. But if heartburn is severe and constant, do mention it to your doctor.
Actually yaar bananas never gave me heartburn, it was more the spicy and oily food. If you notice it only after bananas then maybe skip them, but otherwise they are pretty gentle on the tummy.
