ABOUT HEARTBURN

  • Heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes due to a relaxed/weak lower esophageal sphincter, triggered by stress, spicy/acidic/fatty foods, overeating, etc. Gaviscon antacids, doctor-recommended, control acid for up to 4 hours (when used as directed).

  • Heartburn and Your Diet

    One thing you can do to reduce your risk of experiencing acid reflux, which can trigger heartburn, is to eat low-fat, high-protein meals. Eating smaller meals more frequently and making a plan to stop eating before you get too full will also help lower your risk. Certain foods can trigger heartburn as well.

  • Heartburn And Pregnancy

    Pregnancy slows your digestive system and the passage of food. Pregnancy hormones tend to relax the valve between your stomach and esophagus, which allows stomach acid to leak into your esophagus, causing heartburn. While heartburn during pregnancy can be severe, there are ways to alleviate it.
