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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
