heartburn

Avatar f tn t have my first prenatal appointment for another week or so. What foods do I need to stay away from? So far I've heard deli meats, hot dogs, any kind of raw meat/fish, and of course anything with much caffeine. II'd appreciate any help!
Avatar n tn What are the most important foods to stay away from?
Avatar f tn Spicy foods are fine. They say to stay away from fish with high levels of mercury, soft cheese such feta cheese or bleu cheese, cold lunch meats but I eat those anyways. Also drinks with a lot of caffeine. You can't eat undercooked foods such as rare steaks and sushi. None of that is definitive because they legally can't do tests on unborn babies BC its inhumane so they don't know anything for sure these are just general rules of thumb.
Avatar f tn s been put off the table like fish rich in mercury, raw eggs etc we have to stay away from the unsafe food during pregnancy) but other than that if ur tummy can handle it by all means eat spicy :) but make sure u are eating all the nutrients and minerals necessary as well.

For example there is a ton of no salt added vegetables, and reduced sodium canned products. So I wouldn't say avoid canned foods, just watch it, and use moderation. Personally, I don't eat many canned foods because I try to stay under 1200 mg of sodium per day, and not many canned selections support that. As far as your husbands other symptoms..

7758733 tn?1402589420 I'm a medical assistant at an OBGYN and although I can't give you medical advice, I can speak from personal experience as a mother of 3 and one on the way. Mustard is one food that can cause heartburn due to it being highly acidic, but it can also counteract it for some people.
6063300 tn?1430430571 Oh boy I did!! Hadn't experienced in 17 years since pregnancy. But when I quit, it lasted, 3 months maybe? A long time anyway. I thought it was because I was eating again. A lot. On pills I ate once a day, tops.

Avatar f tn Ya zantac for sure. And definitely find your trigger foods. It's nothing serious other than heartburn but I feel the same as you. Also eat smaller meals throughout the day. That's suppose to helo also.
Avatar f tn You can take Tums, drink a glass of milk or soy milk, also 1 tbs of baking soda in a glass of water works as well. It's your pregnancy and it only gets worse when you get to your third trimester! Try eating small meals more often that way you don't get too full and it doesn't come back up. Also stay away from acidic, greasy, spicy, and fatty foods.

Avatar m tn nutritional eating and exercise should be number one on your list. there are natural remedies that do help but it will take a lifestyle change to solve the problem entirely. I know that sounds pretty s uc k y but you would be amazed at what you can get use to and even start to enjoy. Try to eat more foods that are fresh. stay away from fast food all together. Micky D's is your enemy! instead of vegi oil, use olive oil. Use real butter but with very small portions and not every meal.
