I really don't know what to do. I had been ok until after lunch, but I just had a bagel (a lenders onion bagel...maybe the onion wasn't a good idea??) and I have it so bad....oh man

Re: Everything I eat is giving me indigestion....
Onions can definitely cause heartburn/indigestion. When my heartburn and reflux get really bad, I take Zantac 75 twice per day. It helps a lot. Hope you feel better soon.

No, it's OTC. When I spoke to my doctor about my heartburn, she said I could take Zantac 75 twice per day. I think some doctors even allow higher doses like Zantac 150, but Zantac 75 has worked for me.

Re: Everything I eat is giving me indigestion....
This is my second pregnancy dealing with heartburn. If its not too bad, definately take Tums- the extra calcium certainly can't hurt.
Some foods/situations to avoid:
Coffee
Cola
tomatoes
onions
oranges/lemons
juices other than apple
anything too spicy
eating too close to bedtime
Not eating for more than 3 hours(this seems to trigger the worst heartburn for me- empty stomach)
Hope that helps! I lived on Tums my last pregnancy and now am starting to do the same again!

Re: Everything I eat is giving me indigestion....
Thank you so much for the list. I had a coke slurpee yesterday thinking that the cola would make my stomach feel better, and I felt worse! Thanks so much for the list, and I hope yours doesnt get too bad this pregnancy!!! There is hope...I had it very slightly with my first, and now its so bad, so maybe the reverse will be true for you

Thanks I 'm glad the list helped- I thought of a few more things- anything with vinegar, like salad dressing, any caffeine, soy sauce- I was down to mac and cheese by the end last time
