Pregnancy And Heartburn: Causes And Relief Techniques

Drink Solids

Liquid-based foods can cause fewer heartburn related problems than solids since they move through the body more quickly and your stomach is able to digest them more easily. Consider having meals in soup, smoothie, shake or pudding form. Just ensure your liquids do not contain any irritating ingredients such as citrus fruits, tomatoes and caffeine. Also, try and include protein and healthy fats, found in nuts and avocados, to make it a balanced meal. Smoothie bowls can also make great liquid meals, especially when healthy granola chunks or chia seeds are added. Just ensure that you chew the solids thoroughly to an almost liquid consistency to help with digestion. If you opt for a solid meal, avoid gulping down your drink and take small sips instead.
