Hey everyone! I’m looking for tips on managing indigestion and gas. I literally wake up burping before I’ve even had breakfast! It feels like everything I eat triggers gas or indigestion. I use Pepcid occasionally for the ‘heartburn’ sensation, but this is more about feeling bloated and burping non-stop. I’m currently 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and my appetite is back, but I’m craving greasy food that I know will make it worse. I want to enjoy food without the misery. What are you all doing to cope?

I use GasX as a preventative measure with my evening meal and try to eat my larger portions at lunch instead.
I practically survived on Tums when it was at its worst. I kept a bottle on my nightstand and another one in the car!
A friend suggested papaya enzymes to me. She said they’re safe and really effective. I still need to pick some up from the health store! I’m at 32 weeks now and have been dealing with this since the start.
Totally, those random burps throughout the day are something else! 
Seriously, I just mentioned to my husband that I’ve never burped this much in my life. Now that I’m at 26 weeks and 3 days, the baby is so big that I end up farting every time I lean over.
I have to be extremely cautious about what I eat and the portion sizes. If I’m not careful, like yesterday, I end up feeling terrible and spend the whole next day nauseous and stuck on the sofa.
Oh wow. I’m 7 weeks and 4 days in and have been burping constantly for two days straight. I was worried it was just me… I’m going to try some of these suggestions, maybe even look into Finnesa (i buy here) for some gut balance! Thanks for the tips.
