Stomach Acidity with Pregnancy

by Imrana

I am a girl of 26 years old and now I am pregnant. I have severe stomach acidity. I use antacid but I do not feel a better result.

Response: Being that young you are less likely to have low stomach acid. You didn't say how far along in your pregnancy you are but, of course, pregnancy regularly produces heartburn in the later stages at least because of the baby pushing up towards your stomach/esophageal region (and every other direction). If antacids aren't helping anyway you might want to stop taking them. Take a look at the page on heartburn cures for some ideas of how to minimize the symptoms. At least, in your situation, you can look forward to the end of your symptoms - and the beginning of something very new. Congratulations.

Too Much Stomach Acid Wasn't My Problem

by Mrs. Blue

Thank you so very much for the info. I take Hydrochloric acid supplements with meals with meat and I can tell the difference with my overall health, my skin, hair, breath and I lost weight without too much effort. Just drinking lots of water and marching in place for 15 minutes for 7 days and I lost 9 pounds. That was all I needed to lose. I feel so much better and I didn't take the acidphex the doctor gave. I knew that there was a better way and that I didn't have too much acid, I just knew it.
