I have tried something that I thought was worth sharing.

I'm about 34 weeks along... and lately, heartburn has been KILLING me! I'm sure many of you gals can relate.

My nephew told me one day to take gulp of pickle juice for it. At the time, I thought, "GROSS !" lol I shrugged it off, and went on my way. He said that the vinegar in the juice will neutralize the acid... but I still wasn't on board.

A couple of weeks ago, NOTHING I tried was giving me any relief. I sipped on milk and had been chewing on Tums to no avail. I've been avoiding spicy foods, and trying not to get overly full etc, like they recommend.

I was in sooo much discomfort one night not long ago... I opened the refrigerator door to have some more milk, and I caught sight of the jar of pickle juice. I didn't take a "gulp"... I took a few sips. And WOOOOOW!!! The heartburn was GONE.

Now whenever I feel it creeping up on me, I poor a little juice in a cup, along with a few pickles. I'll sit and munch the pickles and sip the juice, and it helps a LOT. I now understand the link between pregnant women and pickles !!! hahahahah

Anyway, I just thought I'd pass it along to any of you ladies who might be suffering with it like I have been. Good luck if you try it. It has really worked for me.

*barf* lol I love pickles but I read 'pickle juice' and almost barfed! uhh...ok im better.. thanks, I had really bad heartburn last time I was pregnant and Ill have to remember this cause Tums only work so well...

Oh, that was totally my initial reaction ! lol BUT, as I forced myself to swallow a little bit of it down, and the heartburn went away, it was really worth it.

Its amazing the stuff we can do when something gets painful or uncomfortable enough ! hehe

Wow. That is disgusting and useful all at the same time. lol. Thanks for sharing!

when ever i got the flu or cold and felt like puking id drink pickle juice and be better, maybe it will come in handy through my pregnancy

OMG I LOVE YOU!!!! FINALLY A REASON TO DO THIS!! lol I've been drinking pickle juice since I was a kid! My 12 year old cousin makes pickle juice popsicles and gobbles them up. Yummy!!!!!

I love pickle juice! I dont even care if it gets rid of heart burn lol

OMG this is so exciting! I have HORRIBLE heartburn and I LOVE pickle juice!!! I will definately give this a go... hope it works... and if it doesn't it will still be nummy to drink it!

Ditto. This is great to know though, heartburn is really tough and I can't stand milk. Tums will take the edge off but not really handle the problem completely. Thanks! Now I have an excuse to drink the stuff

Wow I love pickle juice but I didn't know it could get rid of heartburn...I wish I would have know this last night!!
