Does spicy food cause stomach ulcers..

Doctify on Instagram: "Heartburn during pregnancy means your baby will be born with lots of hair. We asked a specialist. Dr Hal Brindely is an gastroenterologist with 13 years of experience. Surprisingly, there is actually some evidence behind this one. A study found a correlation between heartburn severity in pregnancy and the amount of hair a newborn had. The theory is that the same hormones that relax the oesophageal valve and cause heartburn may also influence foetal hair growth. It is not a guarantee. But it is not entirely a myth either.
