| Re: pregnant and Gerd
Hi
There is a pill called domperidone which is pretty safe to take during pregnancy. It is a motility agent which also increases the LES pressure, so you would reflux less. I use this drug myself and usually you take 10mg 4 times a day (15-30 min before breakfast, lunch and dinner and one before going to bed). You can take more if you like. I also read an article and how they used this drug to treat reflux in pregnant women and how it worked well. So talk to your doctor and give this pill a try. The reason you are getting the reflux is because the stomach has grown and the extra weight is producing a lot of pressure (since the waist gets bigger and contributes to the pressure on the stomach pushing things up), but I guess you already know this. So give it a try and let us know how it goes.
