heartburn and food

You can eat it but it may cause heartburn.

I'm a Paki gal and I eat spicy food everyday.

I ate only spicy food my whole 1st trimester and also my 2nd one and sometimes I Still do now that I'm 29 weeks . I don't think its bad for the baby.

Will anything happen if we eat lots of spicy food during pregnancy besides heartburn!

I love spicy food i just did fajitas for dinner and i have the biggest heartburn in the world :( i dont want to have to stop eating curry and fajitas its not fair and gaviscon is not helping help please

I thought it was my son not letting the food threw but when i went to the Dr for heartburn she said its just a symptom of heartburn. I felt so full and the food sat there forever. I even got sick a time or 2 because it wasn't going anywhere. Talk with your Dr. I got put on zantac for my heartburn and it has helped with the food just sitting there in my stomach. Im supposed to take it twice a day but i take it in the morning and ill take it at night as needed.

omg I have craved spicy food all my life lol and I love it now I eat it in little meals I find now that im preggo I get really sore stomach when I eat heaps! but its sooo hard to stop lol everyones body is different I eat the reallllly hot stuff. I dont see why its bad???

Its not harmful, you just dont want to over do it. For some women the spicy causes indegestion or heartburn.

Yes its ok i eat spicy food all the time its pretty much the only thing that doesnt give me constant heartburn

I will be 20 weeks tomorrow, will I be able to eat any kind of spicy foods now.?

Absolutely. I have eaten pretty much nothing but spicy food my whole pregnancy. Just beware of the heartburn O.

I love mexican food, but the baby does not agree. Spicy food is the only lyrics thing that has made me puke.

Make sure you keep meds for heartburn!

i know when i eat alot of deep fried food i get severe heartburn and it makes me uncomfortable, even to the point where my chest gets tight.... i think as a general rule we should avoid fried foods, with or without our medication :) But I don't think you're in any danger with the meds and oil..

I'm 9.2 and am craving nachos with jalapeños so badly!!! Is it okay to eat spicy foods at this stage and later on in my pregnancy? Does anyone know?

Nope, it won't affect your baby at all! The only thing that might happen is an increase in heartburn. For me, it's worth it because I've had heartburn and acid reflux since I was a teenager.

It affects yourself more than anything. Spicy food will make you more prone to heartburn at night. But it's totally fine for your baby. It's not the most nutritious but once in a while is okay.

I ate spicy food (not too much) when I was pregnant with my daughter and that didn't have any effects EXCEPT for the heartburn afterwards, so then I began to avoid it. Maybe your tummy is a little sensitive now that your pregnant, that may explain the increase in air.

I currently mostly eat spicy and limon-y and salty things. Not cravings but force of habit and no heartburn.

I don't think it's bad. It can cause heartburn which isn't pleasant but if eating spicy food makes you happy then go for it!

Hi I'm 8 weeks pregnant ...and I was wondering is it not healthy to eat spicy food during pregnancy??...because I heard some people say it was but forgot to ask my doctor..so anyone cud gel me plz..

It's safe. I mean, yea, it can irritate your intestines and the heartburn can be horrific but it's not going to hurt you or baby.

Some months ago, I started a specialized diet; it contains relatively few carbohydrates, and my persistent heartburn went away. I didn't think much of it until I discovered the writings of Dr.
