I've had acid reflux/heartburn before, but not like I have it now. My friend told me the spicy seasoning in the food is probably the reason why I have heartburn. I still have lots of food leftover from Thanksgiving. Should I throw it away?

Spicy foods can make acid reflux / heartburn worse. However I wouldn't think there would be a lot of different spices in Thanksgiving food (but then again, you are probably a better cook than I am. LOL)

Spicy food can kick it off but it's usually the amount you ate and how fast that causes the reflux. Plus laying down shortly after eating allows the acid to back up rather than flow downwards. Another cause is too tight waist bands and bending at the waist instead of the knees shortly after eating. Stay away from spicy foods, carbonated drinks and acidic foods for about a week. Plenty of water, plain, unspiced turkey or potatoes will actually be good for you. No pumpkin pie. No mustard on turkey sandwiches!

Acid reflux or heartburn is a significant problem for many of us. 60% of the population have symptoms of reflux (burning in the chest, indigestion, or regurgitation) and one-third have these symptoms weekly. It can impede the quality of our life, affect the enjoyment of our meals, and interrupt our daily activities.
With this video, I want to share some tips about how to take care of reflux symptoms. https://tr.im/RemediesForAcidReflux
Reflux is a chronic medical condition in which contents of the stomach backwash into the esophagus causing symptoms such as heartburn or regurgitation. It is usually caused by the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter, the valve between stomach and the esophagus, to close properly. That causes stomach contents to enter the esophagus, causing irritation leading to heartburn or indigestion.

Yes, very possible. Spicy, tomatoey, sweet, and especially
wine, and soda will give me acid stomach, but not always. (Heartburn).
I always keep some tums or rolaids handy. Just a little will do the trick. Or if I know I'm going to be eating something that may cause the acid reflux, I take a pill in advance. Pepsid, Tagament, Zantac, are the over the counter meds that our doctor has prescribed for our family.
Always check with you doctor first. He can advise you. It;s his/her business to know these things.

Most of the time heartburn during pregnancy is caused by the uterus pushing on the stomach and causing stomach acid to rise into the esophagus. So other than what you're doing, there isn't much you can do about it. As long as you're pregnant, it'll keep happening.

No. Your heartburn was caused by the inability of your Cardiac Valve (the one that separates your stomach from your esophagus) to close. When this happens, any food that you eat will cause heartburn.
