A member asked:
I'm 22 weeks pregnant and had to go to the hospital they gave me a white gi cocktail for my real bad heart burn is it safe for the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most risk to pregnancy is in 1st trimester, early 2nd. The typical "white gi" cocktail is considered safe. For that matter, some argue the "green gi" cocktail might be safe. However, that one just adds more chemicals, and most providers like to minimize unnecessary exposure and risk. The "gi cocktail" is also sometimes used as a diagnostic maneuver to identify GI symptom origin.
