The gas and bloating is killing me yaar, pet feels so tight after every meal. Im 14 weeks. Want to fix it through food only, koi acche options batao that are easy on the stomach?
My dietician at the hospital suggested having small, frequent meals rather than three heavy ones. They also gave me a safe list of antacids, so I'd highly recommend asking your doctor or the hospital staff during your next visit instead of trying too many home remedies. They know what's safest for you.
I literally went to the ER once in my first trimester because the gas pain in my chest was so sharp, I thought something was terribly wrong! But the doctor laughed gently and said it's just pregnancy gas. Drinking buttermilk (chaas) with a pinch of hing and black salt worked wonders for me.
Avoiding oily food and drinking warm cumin (jeera) water really helps with bloating. Also, if your doctor has allowed it, a slow 15-minute walk after meals is the absolute best way to release trapped gas. Avoid lying down immediately after eating.
Before running to the clinic and paying heavy consultation fees, try simple kitchen remedies first. Soaked fenugreek (methi) water or warm ginger tea worked so well for me and saved me unnecessary doctor visits. Just keep your diet simple and plain, it's the most practical way to avoid acidity.
Stop eating heavy, spicy foods first of all. Drink warm water throughout the day, and chew on a little bit of fennel seeds (saunf) after your meals. It is a very common issue because digestion slows down, so keep your meals small.
