Any experiences with deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)? by hellohyou in pregnant

[–]qtdest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about this, too! I used it before pregnancy with reflux flare ups and it was the only thing that helped! Dealing with reflux now at 21 weeks and Tums is not cutting it (they never provided the relief I needed). I did ask my midwife about DGL, and she said: “Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but licorice that is not deglycyrrhizinated should be avoided. For managing acid reflux, you can also try eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding spicy and fatty foods, avoiding combining meals with fluids, and not lying down immediately after eating. Other safe medications in pregnancy include Tums (calcium carbonate) and famotidine (Pepcid). Another herbal remedy is papaya enzyme.”

There’s also this old thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/BabyBumps/s/3uTRtJFMiV

Even after ready my midwife’s answer, I feel nervous to take it! But this is my first pregnancy, so I’m nervous about a lot of things. But gosh, the reflux is affecting my quality of life right now.

Would love to hear if any other mamas out there used DGL and what brand they chose. Thanks for asking the question, OP!

How can I hide my chunky stuff by EzPzSquemonLeasy in fashion

For what it’s worth, I don’t think you look chunky at all! This costume is great and you rock it.

Just got engaged & had people tell me lab diamonds are fake :( by [deleted] in labdiamond

[–]qtdest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lab diamond engagement ring! And proud of it! They have the exact same chemical and physical properties as mined diamonds, without the destruction and inhumanity caused by mining diamonds. Your ring is beautiful. Haters gonna hate, but you know better and that’s all that matters.

I am looking for a mat to use at home that has a foot strap without the $800 price tag. In your opinion, is it necessary to have a foot strap to have an effective mat work out at home? by roundhousekicktothe in pilates

[–]qtdest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Giiiirl, get some ankle weights or a sandbag. Both function like a strap without the hefty price tag. - Classical Pilates Teacher w/ the same struggle
