Hi, just found out I was pregnant. I know with my last pregnancy there was a certain antacid I could take safely. Of course, that isn't offered any more. I sometimes get a sour or sometimes gassy stomach. And I will DEFINATELY have heartburn toward the end of my pregnancy.

Is there anything over the counter that is safe for me? Then I will check and make sure it is ok with the doc!

Thanks guys!

You may be surprised and not have the heartburn issue this time. Each pregancy is different. What works well for me is Pepto Bismal liquid. I know not all Tums are safe and hopefully someone else will have some ideas for those and the Rolaids.

I don't know about either of those. I used to eat them like candy, but since I went gluten-free I haven't had any need for antacids. Go figure.

For a gassy stomach, the Gas-Ex gelcaps work well. The chewable tabs, however, have gluten.

The regular fruit flavor tums are gluten free. Rolaids- soft chews only- are NOT gluten free. They're made on shared lines and got me sooooo sick. When I was pregnant, I took Gaviscon, recommended by my OB. That was prediagnosis, so I don't know if it is safe.

Congrats :)

Have you ever tried papaya pills? I am not 100% sure about the gluten content but they are better for you if they work. You don't want to over do the calcium in them because they can cause the placenta to calcify.

Well, gas and heartburn are signs of indigestion. What surprises many is that low stomach acid causes heartburn. It also causes indigestion, leading to gas. Some digestive enzymes and betain HCL are said to be very good for this problem. Raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar is one of the best things for heartburn, and actually cures it for many people.

Continuing to use antacids results in indigestion, and a condition called Pernicious Anemia, for which there is no known cure. It basically means you cannot obtain vitamin B12 from food, making life-long supplementation necessary. Other problems are also attributed to this condition.

But as others have stated, you may not have the same kinds of problems with this pregnancy, as long as you're gluten-free. You might be surprised at the improvements that can come about with a gluten-free diet.

Tums. If you use Peopto Bismol be aware that you will have black stools from the bismuth.

This is true. I don't have to use it more than once so haven't had that issue. I use for the stomach pain I get the first day after a glutening. It also shouldn't be used by folks that are sensitive to asprin, and as with every drug when used by someone who is pregnant the doctor should be consulted before taking.

Also, chewing fennel seeds can help with heartburn. Avoiding cold (iced) beverages can help as well.

One of the oldest natural remedies is ginger tea or ginger capsules. Just check for fillers. Ginger has also been used to treat motion sickness.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
