Patient's question:
I am a pregnant woman, 7 months and 8 days pregnant. I started experiencing stomach acid when I was 3 months pregnant. What can I do about stomach acid during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, if you have stomach acid, you can try eating some baked cakes or other foods with a higher alkaline content, which can help neutralize stomach acid. If dietary measures are not effective, you can try using baking soda to neutralize stomach acid. This medication has relatively few side effects and can be used during pregnancy, although it may cause increased gas in the stomach. Additionally, drinking some porridge or eating some fruits can also help dilute stomach acid and reduce heartburn symptoms. If you also experience nausea or other discomfort, you can try taking vitamin B6 to alleviate nausea and vomiting.
