As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have had the WORST heartburn since the beginning of the second trimester. Some days, it literally feels like my throat will erupt in flames and lava will start pouring from my mouth. It doesn't matter when I eat or what I eat; even water gives me heartburn! I've tried everything to find relief - tums, papaya enzymes, zantac - but nothing has worked ... until I discovered baking soda. Beautiful, sweet, sweet baking soda. Someone in our birthing class recommended drinking a teaspoon of baking soda with water. It tastes disgusting, but ... oh, my word ... it works! It obviously doesn't cure heartburn, but it brings a little relief between my fire-breathing sessions.
I love you, baking soda!
