Re: Acid reflux/heartburn only during my period - November 22nd 2012, 12:28 AM

It's not that uncommon, actually. It's most likely due to the Progesterone, same as why pregnant women have acid reflux.

A few things that can help:
1) Don't lie down soon after waiting. Try not to lay down until 2-3 hours after a meal.
2) Avoid spicy foods as much as possible.
3)Coffee, tea, carbonated drinks, alcoholic drinks ,etc can make it worse.

So those are few ideas. Hope you can get switched to a bc that works better with you
