A few years ago, my wife was pregnant with our son Josh and suffered the worst heartburn in her entire life. I thought she was having a heart attack and that she was going to die. I still remember her panicked call to the office and my rush home.
I took her to the hospital and was relieved when the doctor said she wasn’t having a heart attack, but that she had GERD.
Having GERD while pregnant had caused so much discomfort that she was literally, combing the internet for remedies, support groups and anything and anyone she could find who could give her answers.
Today, she still has the occasional heartburn, but nothing like that episode. She has learned that through lifestyle change and diet, she could enjoy days and even weeks without suffering from acid reflux and heartburn. I joined her in our new diet, and am happy to say, dropped a few pounds, too.
I hope this website will help you find answers. Let this be a forum for other heartburn sufferers like my wife and perhaps by sharing, we’ll all be able to get answers to our frequently asked questions.
Thank you for visiting!
