Third trimester and the burning in my chest after dinner is bohot bad, especially at night when i lie down. dont want to take anything without asking doc so thinking of food changes first. what do u all eat that helps?
I totally understand how painful that burning chest feeling is, it literally doesn't let u sleep. Try eating small meals and have a few spoons of cold vanilla ice cream or cold milk. It will give you instant comfort, my dear.
I had terrible heartburn along with my thyroid issues, so I had to be very careful. Coconut water in the afternoon helped me soothe the acidity naturally. Always check with your doctor during your regular follow-ups if it gets too severe.
Ah, those sleepless nights due to acidity! I used to chew on fennel seeds (saunf) after every meal and it really helped digestion. Don't worry, once the baby is out, this heartburn will vanish like it was never there.
Avoid spicy and oily food completely, especially at dinner time. Actually, staying upright for at least 40 minutes after eating makes a huge difference. Don't take random over-the-counter antacids without asking your gynac first.
