WHY DO I HAVE SUCH BAD HEARTBURN?
By Anne Sommers, LM




I have just found out that I am pregnant and I was wondering why I have such bad heartburn? It gets so bad that I cannot get out of bed. I am about two or three months along. If there is anything you can help on please do. Are there any over the counter drugs that will help and still be safe for the baby?

Heartburn, usually occurs later in pregnancy when the baby presses up against the stomach. Food doesn't digest properly and the stomach's release of digestive juices are lessened. It is commonly relieved by antacids, such as Tums and sleeping in a more upright position. I suggest for my clients that they take digestive enzymes if they are prone to this problem. Indigestion and heartburn or trapped gas can be caused by the food not being digested. I am surprised you can't get out of bed it hurts so much, since with severe heartburn, one cannot lie down. Have your practitioner investigate if it is true heartburn or not.

HEARTBURN RELIEF SUGGESTIONS

Note: More than one-half of all pregnant women report symptoms of severe heartburn, particularly during their second and third trimesters. Not all heartburn remedies will work for everyone. You may have to try more than one or a few remedies to find one that works for you. Sometimes a woman may have to "ride it out" until after the baby is born to find relief. As always, check with your midwife or health care provider before trying any methods or heartburn treatments. Here are some recommendations and suggestions of various heartburn prevention and relief methods that work for most pregnant women and are considered safe to use:

  • Avoid bending over, especially after eating. Bend at the knees instead of at the waist.


  • Do not wear tight girdles or belts. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid any tightness around your waist and tummy.


  • Place books or blocks under the head of your bed to raise it about 4 inches. Sleep propped up with several pillows or a wedge. Elevating your upper body will help keep your stomach acids where they belong and will aid in your digestion. A bed wedge pillow can elevate the upper body or legs and helps to treat the symptoms of hiatal hernia and acid reflux disorders.

  • Do not smoke. Smoking increases stomach acidity.


  • Gain a sensible amount of weight during pregnancy and try to stay within the guidelines your health care provider or midwife suggests.


  • Avoid drinking large quantities of fluids during meals. You do not want to distend your stomach. It is important that you DO drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily during pregnancy, but sip it between meals.


  • Try chewing gum after eating. Chewing gum stimulates your salivary glands, and saliva can help neutralize acid.





  • MEDICATION

    While medication is usually not necessary for this disorder, in severe cases it may be of benefit. The medicines most frequently used include antacids and H2 blockers (acid reduction drugs, such as Tagamet, Zantac, and Pepcid). These drugs should be used only with your midwife's or health care provider's approval. As long as you can live with the symptoms, endure the discomfort without drugs or medicines.

    An over-the-counter antacid that contains magnesium or calcium carbonate may ease discomfort, but check with your midwife or health care provider before taking one. Some antacid brands contain aluminum or aspirin or are high in sodium.

    OVER-THE-COUNTER ANTACIDS

    As always, before taking any medication of any kind, check with your midwife or health care provider.

    Your first choice of OTC antacids should probably be chewable antacids made from calcium carbonate (sometimes just called "calcium" on the label). Fast, portable, and effective, they may be all you need. Some of them even taste pretty good.

    Antacids containing magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide are also a good choice and come in tablet or liquid form. But bear in mind that swallowing any liquid, even the liquid you need to swallow a tablet, will cause your stomach to do what it does naturally - produce digestive juices, including acid, the very thing you are trying to reduce. So it is best to swallow tablets with as little liquid as possible when you are having trouble with heartburn.

    All of these medicines are true antacids. That is, they neutralize the acid that is already in your stomach and causing you pain. Chewable and liquid antacids act much faster than tablets you swallow because you do not have to wait for them to dissolve. You can experiment and see which type works most effectively for you.

    Avoid antacids that list "aluminum" (such as aluminum hydroxide or aluminum carbonate) as an ingredient. Aluminum can be constipating and, in large doses, toxic. So even though it is probably safe when used occasionally at the recommended dosage, it's not your best choice and should be avoided if possible.

    Remedies containing aspirin (such as Alka-Seltzer) should also be avoided during pregnancy. Aspirin may be listed on a label as salicylate or acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin acts as a blood thinning agent and should be avoided during pregnancy since it can cause bleeding problems at the time you give birth.

    In addition, avoid sodium bicarbonate - commonly found in the form of baking soda, but also sold as an antacid in tablet form - and sodium citrate. These are high in sodium, which causes you to retain water. And if you are far enough along in your pregnancy to have gone into a panic trying to remove rings from your swollen fingers or looked down in horror at your puffy ankles, you will understand why that is the last thing you want right now.

    Remember that even the chewable antacids that come in yummy fruit flavors are medicines. If you find yourself popping more of them than recommended, you may want to ask your midwife or health care provider about using something more effective and longer lasting, usually called an "acid reducer." Instead of neutralizing your stomach acid like the antacids, these actually stop your stomach from producing most of the acid it normally would.

    If you take a pure acid reducer, it works best when taken before a meal because it will not help with the acid already in your stomach. Some of these medications are a combination of an acid reducer (such as famotidine) and an antacid (such as calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide), to provide immediate relief from the acid that is already distressing you and to reduce further acid production for up to 12 hours.

    WARNING! There are no drugs that have been proven absolutely safe for your developing baby. Use extreme caution in taking any medications during pregnancy and then these should only be used after all other methods have been tried and with the careful guidance of your midwife or health care provider.

    ACTIVITY

  • Stay active. Avoid abdominal exercises that require bending. Bend at the knees, not the waist. Watch your posture, do not slump while sitting since this puts extra pressure on the belly (it also contributes to a higher incidence of "posterior presentation" births). Limit your time in "bucket seats" in automobiles while traveling, taking frequent "stretching" breaks.

    NUTRITION & DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS

    Nutrition plays an important role in stopping the symptoms of heartburn. Be sure to include these recommendations in addition to the other lifestyle changes that are recommended above under Conventional Medical Treatment. Drinking certain fluids after meals can prevent heartburn.

  • At the first sign of heartburn, drink a large glass of water. This often helps. Also, drink water after meals to wash acid away. You can also try sipping 1 tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar mixed in 1 cup of water while eating.

Vinegars containing the mother contain enzymes and mineralsthat other vinegars may not contain due to over processing, filtration and overheating. "Mother" is formed naturally by the bacteria in unpasteurized vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother is said to contain an abundance of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber.

  • Change your eating habits. Eat more raw vegetables. Chew your food well. Eat slowly and enjoy your food. Follow a proper diet with plenty of lean protein to support your lean muscles and organs. Following a disciplined diet is an important aspect of managing GERD.


  • Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. Breaking your 3 large meals a day into 6 smaller meals (about half the size you would normally eat at a regular meal) will not only help with heartburn problems but will help curb hunger pangs and keep your blood sugar on a more even level. Avoid eating big meals. Again, take your time eating and chew your food thoroughly.


  • Avoid very hot or very cold beverages. Avoid drinking large quantities of fluid with your meals. Instead sip them throughout the day between your meals.


  • Sip 1 tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar, mixed with a glass of water, while eating a meal. Do not drink any other liquids with meals.


  • Eat fresh papaya and/or pineapple to aid digestion. Chew a few of the papaya seeds as well. Papaya Enzyme chewable tablets can be a substitute for fresh papaya.

  • Do not eat for three hours before bedtime. Wait at least three hours after eating before lying down.


  • Do not consume carbonated beverages, fats, fried foods, processed foods, sugar, or spicy or highly seasoned foods. These seem to be the main cause of heartburn.


  • Do not take a multi-enzyme complex containing hydrochloric acid (HCl).


  • Avoid a diet high in refined sugar. A diet high in sugar makes heartburn worse. It irritates the lining of the esophagus and stomach and increases stomach acid, fermentation of the sugar produces more stomach gas, and a high sugar content encourages the growth of certain stomach bacteria that recent medical studies say may cause chronic stomach ulcers. Eliminate or sharply curtail your intake of sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, molasses, and all food products made with them.


  • Avoid alcohol. Alcohol should be avoided during pregnancy for other reasons besides heartburn. Alcohol, like sugar, has a directly hostile effect on the stomach lining and also stimulates increased stomach acid, but it has the added negative effect of weakening the muscular sphincter at the end of the esophagus, making reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus more likely. Eliminate or sharply curtail your intake of alcoholic beverages.


  • MoonDragon's Pregnancy Information: Alcohol & Pregnancy.

  • Avoid and do not consume chocolate, coffee and other caffeine containing products. Similarly, Chocolate produces an almost immediate weakening. The caffeine-like substance in chocolate seems to be the culprit in causing the problems. Substitute carob for chocolate, if possible. Coffee may also increase the output of stomach acid, try to reduce or eliminate drinking too much coffee.


  • Eating a fatty meal causes a digestive response, allowing easy access for stomach acid into the esophagus. Try to limit the fat content of your foods to 30 percent of your total calories per day and to spread those fat calories out throughout the day as much as possible.


  • Milk, although you might think of it as a food to soothe the "angry" stomach, actually has only a temporary neutralizing effect on stomach acid, followed later by a rise in stomach acid to an even higher level than it had been. A bite or two of cottage cheese, taken when you feel heartburn coming on, may help to ease it away. Try mixing a little honey in with your milk, which can also ease the burn and discomfort of heartburn.


  • Plain, unsweetened Yogurt is helpful. Yogurt is not only nutritious, providing calcium, but it also provides active "friendly bacteria" cultures, which helps to keep your intestinal tract healthy and functioning properly. The yogurt you choose should contain active cultures.

    Milk is NOT a heartburn remedy! If you have problems with lactose intolerance (caused by an absence of an enzyme that breaks down lactose found in dairy products), drinking milk can aggravate your gastric system. You can take a "lact-aid" enzyme supplement to help with mild lactose intolerance.

  • Orange juice also causes problems in some people, because it is naturally acidic. Limit or eliminate citrus fruits and juices if they cause problems with your digestion.


  • Avoid highly seasoned food. Spicy foods, especially those made with hot peppers or pepper, contain corrosive acids that directly irritate the stomach, contribute to heartburn. Try to avoid eating chili peppers, jalapenos, or other hot spices if they typically cause heartburn for you. Avoid black pepper. This is a natural irritant.


  • Tomato products, such as juices, pastes, salsa and sauces (including marinara sauce and ketchup), may irritate the stomach and esophagus lining directly and may also cause heartburn for some people. If you like to grow your own tomatoes, there are some varieties that are naturally low in acid.


  • See Fasting for instructions (fasting is not recommended during pregnancy). Also see the self-tests under Acidosis and Cardiovascular Disease.

    Bhumy Amalaki (Phyllanthus niruri) - The plant is employed for numerous other conditions including blennorrhagia, colic, diabetes, dysentery, fever, flu, abnormal cell growths, jaundice, vaginitis, and dyspepsia. It is of little wonder that Chanca Piedra is used for so many things since the plant has proven antihepatotoxic, antispasmodic, antiviral, antibacterial, diuretic, febrifugal and hypoglycemic activities. It is also considered anodyne, apertif, carminative, digestive, emmenagogue, laxative, stomachic, tonic and vermifuge based on its long documented history of uses. Chanca Piedra is still widely used in herbal medicine in South America, remaining the most popular remedy for gallstones and kidney stones throughout the continent. In Peruvian herbal medicine, it is also used for hepatitis, urinary infections, and as a diuretic. In Brazilian herbal medicine it is called Quebra Pedra and is considered an excellent remedy to remove uric acid from the urine and to eliminate stones. It is also used in Brazil for hydropsy, urinary and bladder infections and blockages, liver ailments, painful joints, cystitis, prostate disorders, kidney disorders, hepatitis, diabetes and as a antispasmodic and muscle relaxant specific to the urinary tract system. Chanca Piedra, indigenous to India where it is called Pitirishi or Budhatri, is a common household remedy for asthma, bronchitis and to cure coughing, extreme thirst, anemia, jaundice and tuberculosis. Also indigenous to the Bahamas where it is called hurricane weed or gale-wind grass. It is used in local herbal medicine there for poor appetite, constipation, typhoid fever, flu and colds. Chanca Piedra has been the subject of much research to determine the active constituents and their pharmacological activities beginning in the mid-1960's. Indian and Brazilian research groups were the first to conduct these studies since the plant was indigenous to their areas with a long history of use by its inhabitants. In some of the published research, scientists make little or no distinction between P. niruri and P. amarus because of the very similar phytochemical make up of both plants. In fact, some references are found in which scientists believe that it is one species of plant with two botanical names, but of course there are botanists who would argue this point.

    CAYENNE (CAPSICUM) PRODUCTS

    Cayenne Pepper contains beta-carotene; beta-ionone, citric acid, hesperidin, imonen, lutein, and quercetin just to name a few. It also contains capsaicin, which reduces pain and inflammation. When combined with other herbs, Cayenne Pepper helps increase their effectiveness by helping them enter the blood stream faster. Capsaicin can also stimulate and then desensitize the warmth detectors in the hypothalamus gland so that a drop in body temperature is evident. This enables natives in hot southern climates like Central and South America and Africa, to tolerate the heat a lot better than we would. Cayenne Pepper has been known for its ability to aid in digestion, improve circulation, and reduce or stop bleeding from stomach ulcers. Taken internally it stimulates circulation and induces sweating to break a fever. Some native people of Thailand believe that eating Cayenne everyday helps reduce blood clots. Herbalists recommend it to treat colds and infectious diarrhea, arthritis and rheumatism. There is scientific evidence that suggests adding Cayenne Pepper to meals boosts vitamin C levels and revs up the metabolism. This pepper is also used with lobelia to help soothe nerves. It is beneficial for the heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, spleen, and stomach. In naturopathic medicine, Cayenne Pepper is combined with lemon juice, and salt to relieve even the worst sore throat pain for up to 4 hours. It also fights viral infection. When applied topically in a lotion or salve Cayenne works to soothe muscle aches and pains associated with arthritis, rheumatism, backache, strains and sprains. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Capsaicin for pain caused by shingles, an adult disease that is caused by the virus that causes chicken pox in children. Such over-the-counter (OTC) creams as Zostrix or Heet contain capsaicin and are applied externally to treat rheumatic and arthritic pains, cluster headaches, diabetic foot pain, fibromyalgia, and post-herpetic nerve pain. These creams usually contain 0.025-0.075 percent capsaicin. In 2002 there was some research done that helped to determine Capsaicin's pain relieving effects. Creams that contain the compound lowered pain in arthritis sufferers' hands by 40 percent when used four times a day. A study done for pain from long-term shingles found that 77 percent of the people had reduced pain after using the cream for four months. The study also said that Capsaicin containing ream is less expensive and safer than other painkillers used for the same conditions. Cayenne Pepper comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. For taking capsules, the recommended daily dose is 1 capsule 2 to 3 times a day. Adults and children two and above can safely use it topically 3 to 4 times a day. For treating a sore throat, combine the juice of one-half lemon or lime with one full tablespoon of salt. Stir both into one-half cup of lukewarm distilled water. Stir in one-quarter teaspoon of Cayenne pepper. Gargle as needed, but do not swallow.

Our formula also includes Organic Egyptian Licorice to promote mucin, a natural secretion that protects the mucous membranes of the stomach from acids and other digestive juices. Organic Peppermint Leaf is a relaxant for the muscles of the intestinal wall. Warming herbs such as Organic Cardamom Seed, Organic Coriander Seed, Organic Ginger Root and Organic Black Pepper also support gastrointestinal function as they help reduce gas and move food through the digestive tract comfortably. While Cardamom is especially good for helping the body digest cold and sweet foods, Ginger Root is known for its effectiveness in reducing nausea associated with over-indulgence. Try a warm cup of Stomach Ease with your meal as a gentle and effective aid to digestion - especially if a hectic schedule keeps you from eating properly. Pour 8 ounces boiling water over one Stomach Ease tea bag and steep for 5 to 10 minutes. For a stronger effect, use 2 tea bags. Gently squeeze each tea bag to fully release the active ingredients. At home, dining out or travleing, drink a cup with each meal to help promote healthy digestive function.

    NIACIN - VITAMIN B-3 PRODUCTS

    Niacin or Vitamin B-3, is necessary for normal breakdown of fats and fatty acid and the release of energy from carbohydrates. It is also an excellent vasodilator and may be useful in maintaining proper cholesterol levels. Nicotinamide adenine dinocleotide (NAD) is one of two main metabolically active forms of vitamin B-3. The other is NAD phosphate (NADP).. NAD is a prominent coenzyme in the brain, where it helps to generate the massive energy that the brain requires for its normal function. NAD is necessary for many stages of converting food into energy and in alcohol metabolism. In order for vitamins to be utilized by the body, they must first be converted into their active coenzyme form. This Coenzymated Sublingual B-3 goes directly into your bloodstream in its active form, ready to go to work immediately. This avoids the loss that may occur not only during digestion, but during the liver’s conversion process as well.
