awful acid stomach ...HELP !!!!

[charlie1973]

Hi. Went to the doctor today....my pregnancy constipation (TMI) is so bad that I now have the most painful acid indigestion. She said that the alimentary canal just slows to a halt and food doesn't digest properly. I've been prescribed an antacid and various constipation remedies...wondered if anybody else suffered and what natural remedies helped for them ??!

Thankfully have avoided constipation so far, but have really started to suffer with acid now. Got the gaviscon at hand all the time, but I try milk or vanilla ice cream first. Ice cream perhaps more appropriate in this heat, but I found a cup of warm milk B4 bed VERY helpful. Also, I know it sounds obvious, but trying to cut back on acidy things esp. in the evening also helped. It was a bit of a bind for me as I really don't like to drink water - much prefer lemon or grapefuit squash and orange juice. My compromise was to just add enough to disguise the water!
