Suggestions for acid reflux?

Question

I'm only 13 weeks and acid reflux is driving me nuts. It's keeping me up at night, and it's bad even if I haven't eaten in hours. Ive tried all the advice I can find (anything from ginger to propped pillow, smaller portions to Tums and Pepcid... and I'd prefer to treat homeopathic anyhow.)

I used to have this problem when I was younger, and needed meds til I cut out meat and dairy from my diet. I'm not crazy about the idea of being vegan while pregnant though, especially when I'm craving meat and dairy. Cutting back on carbs has helped - it seems worse when I eat bread or rice.

I've added a lot of probiotic foods to my diet which seems to help some days (saurkraut, kimchi, pickles, yogurt etc). Papaya pills don't really work. I'm drinking kombucha, but I am concerned it has an alcohol content (which is inconsistent if it's home brew).

Any other ideas/suggestions?

A glass of water with a little apple cider vinegar after every meal. Eating small, frequent meals too.

Spoonfuls of raw honey of you can stomach the sweetness

Answer

Celery juice if you have a juicer it's really good for acid reflux. Also I'm vegan and you can eat vegan versions of meat and dairy. Also you should check out the process of meat and dairy to stop yourself from finding them appealing. Good luck I hope something helps! Search up vegan pregnancy on YouTube there's lots of videos

in addition to the probiotics (I'm a fan of kefir yogurt - probiotics, get my dairy & calcium, too) I recommend  calcium supplements!!  don't need to take a ton but they will help with acid!  also papaya enzyme can be good, you can find chewables at most health food stores & whole foods.
