Can Eating A Lot Of Ice Cause Heart Burn In Pregnancy?
Might be a stupid question but can eating a lot of ice trigger heart burn or acid reflux? I m pregnant and have been craving ice all the time. And every time I go to lay down now I end up throwing up. I feel the acid burning in my esophagus every time I lay down to sleep.

Craving for ice might indicate mineral deficiencies. Get your hemoglobin and iron levels checked. Hormonal changes in pregnancy can cause relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter and thus acid reflux. Its normal in pregnancy. Plz don't lie down immediately after having food
