heartburn pregnancy papaya enzymes

Peppermint or digestive enzymes. :) The ones I have are made from papaya.

I take papaya enzymes. They are a digestive enzyme and it really helps to take away the pain. You could be gluten intolerant. It is a simple blood test. You can buy the papaya enzymes in any health food store.

I have had horrible heartburn the entire time I have been pregnant! I am almost 16 weeks, and it has been the worst symptom of pregnancy so far. My Mother-in-law who is a midwife suggested I try papaya enzymes. They're chewable like Tums, but in my experience they work way better, and provide relief for longer. Sleeping propped up on a couple of pillows can make a difference as well, if you are experiencing it in the morning when you wake up.

Enzymes, bromelin, papaya tabs, asedolfolis (spelling). Check saliva PH (test strips) in the morning. Might need to alkalize , or might need more acid (apple cider vinegar).

If that doesn't help maybe ask your doctor if there is an over the counter medicine that they would recommend. Unless of course you are doing absolutely no medicines. If you get heart burn frequently eat a banana first before you eat anything else. It's what I do.

I had such bad heartburn with my 1st pregnancy and my son came out looking like a troll doll he had 2 inches of long jet black hair over his whole head and down his neck. We had to trim it at 2 months old because it was going in his eyes.

thanks ladies :)

Tums have quit working. I use papaya enzymes and they help a little bit. I have the head of my bed raised 4 inches off the floor. I ear a yogurt every night before i sleep which also helps a tad bit. Over all every night when i lay down i get the worse pain in my throat and chest, im already short of breath and this makes it 10 times worse. Any advice?

Get some papaya enzymes. I know that sounds odd but it helps.

I would always shred ice cubes and eat them. I had severe heart burn both pregnancies and shredded ice worked best for me.

I have gall bladder issues, the only relief i get is by eating papaya. I swear by it. It kills heartburn and i haven't had a gall attack since i started eating a bowl of it daily.

I have had non stop heartburn for almost 2 weeks now. I am eating Zantac which is the only thing that helps like it's candy. I don't like taking pills while pregnant but the pressure gets so severe. I can't sit streight up I have to always be leaning back or it's worse. I wake up some nights and burp stomach acid in my mouth which burns. I then have to get up and rebrush my teeth. I don't know what to do.

At the first sign of heartburn, try eating some fresh papaya WITH the seeds. There are enzymes in the tropical fruit that help break down food. You can also keep a bottle of papaya tablets around to accomplish the same thing. (3) Fresh pineapple: Like papaya, pineapple is packed with an enzyme that aids digestion by helping to break down food. (4) Vinegar: fix yourself a vinegar tonic by mixing a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar into a glass of water to sip during your meal.

I do tums but pepcid is also on my safe list. But as for natural- try fresh papaya.

I've been getting horrible heartburn that is waking me up through out the night I am 22 weeks pregnant and wondering if tthere is anything to help? I've tried tums and it hasn't been working.

What I do now is take enzymes, or eat pineapple or papaya, then follow them with a probiotic, before my main meal of the day. The enzymes prepare the way for the probiotic to be better absorbed, and both prepare my stomach and gut for their work. If I forget, eat, and I end up with a tummyache, usually probiotics afterwards will help. Enzymes aren't as helpful after eating.

I've had horrible heartburn the whole time which even before pregnancy i had bad heartburn but it doesn't feel cold it burns but what works instantly for me is 2 Tums smoothie flavored n a cup of milk

I was on omneprezerol before pregnancy, doctor said to only take if absolutely necessary. I read aboyt papaya during my first pregnancy and it was AMAZING! I am now 36 wks in my third pregnancy and gave been heartburn free as long as i eat a small bowl each night.

Thank you im going to try some milk right now hopefully it works.

Im 11 weeks as well. This is my 4th baby. I am also very nauseated all day. All foods and smells are offputting. This phase can't end soon enough! My heartburn doesn't start ruining my life until later in pregnancy...but experience has me prepared, Papaya Enzyme tablets. Wonderful digestive aid and controls my heartburn.

Thanks! Does the papaya tablets or juice work right away? I don't usually get this bad of heartburn and I'd hate to take ANOTHER pill every day. I guess I'm looking for an instant fix in the middle of the night. I know the tums didn't work very well or fast last night but if I hadn't taken them I would have been in even bigger trouble. I think the riba just didn't like my choice of menu.

Papaya is awesome also. They sell Papaya pills u can chew up. I get heartburn soooo bad. It makes me want to cry and takes my breath. It hurts so bad.
