digest food ?

Have any of you ladies ever experienced the feeling where your food doesn't digest? That you eat normal times and amounts but it just sits in your throat ? I'm usually constipated to begin with and now with pregnancy more im 24 weeks but don't know what would help for this. I do exercise and always walking most of the day so any other suggestions?

I take papaya enzyme, its a natural digestive aid and helps with heart burn and with inflammation. I get it from the vitamin store. I take one right after I eat and unless I stuff myself full I have no issues

Find either natural calm or mama calm. I get it from my chiropractor. It is magnesium in powder form. It takes a few hours and you will be regular like never before. I love it!

Yeah thats what my dr told me. It was just a symptom!!! I thought it was crazy but she said some people just show signs of heartburn by burping. I was really surprised. So at night if I get that full feeling or what not I take another pill. I try to keep my meds intake down so thats why I dont take it twice a day like im supposed to.

Sounds awful momma. I am 34 weeks and I have awful heartburn and the same feeling like food just dont go no where. I am now trying to eat smaller portions trough out the day instead of big meals. Try to contributed fiber in your food that helps me lots with constipation, I drink apple juice too it helps me, and lots lots of water. Hope this helps a bit, its just what works for me but everyone's systems are different.  Good luck momma♡

I have the same problem. I thought it was my son not letting the food threw but when i went to the Dr for heartburn she said its just a symptom of heartburn. I felt so full and the food sat there forever. I even got sick a time or 2 because it wasn't going anywhere. Talk with your Dr. I got put on zantac for my heartburn and it has helped with the food just sitting there in my stomach. Im supposed to take it twice a day but i take it in the morning and ill take it at night as needed.
