What can you take or do naturally to ease indigestion during pregnancy?

[montenapoleone]

Whenever I drink a lot of liquid i.e. water or soda, without eating anything, I get a feeling of trapped air at the top of my esophagus including a gurgling noise that I cannot control.I feel like I have to burp but I cannot physically make my body do it.Are there any remedies anyone can suggest during pregnancy?

Try eating crystalized ginger or drinking peppermint tea.

I am 38 weeks along with my second, and I have not found anything natural to help heart burn or indigestion during pregnancy. Some people say peppermint helps, and a teaspoon of baking soda with water, but neither helped me. I just live off of tums and that always seems to help. I will not take prescription meds though even though the Dr has offered to give them to me. You may want to ask your Dr what they recommend. Good Luck!
