Glucose test - heartburn! :(

[lana29]

Hi,

Today I had the glucose test couldn’t eat after 10pm last night and normally I’d eat in morning but couldn’t because of fasting for the test. The stuff they gave me was this orange sugary drink which tasted like capri sun (nice tasting) but ever since the test I feel like I’m getting heartburn, reflux symptoms and hoarse voice!

I do have a history of acid reflux prior to pregnancy so was worried on this test as I always eat in mornings to prevent flares

should this horrible reflux heartburn pass? Its still the same day of test, luckily did cone back normal! Any tips too xx

@lana29 i had mine yesterday and I’ve never had reflux before and it’s horrid!!! Didn’t make the link till I read this. Hope you’re feeling better?

O@Carla2601 How do you feel now? I’m still suffering :(

I have IBS and heartburn, I cannot handle high sugar drinks or food without an IBS flare up. I declined mine and offered to do finger pricks instead. Much easier, and I can just continue my days like usual. 😁 I hope you feel better soon, I always have gaviscon in the cupboard.

@lana29 mines pretty much gone I think (sorry that’s probably not much comfort) but apparently it’s a totally normal pregnancy thing but not fun at all. Feel better soon!
