Heart burn

I know this has probably been asked 100s of times but oh my the heartburn is really doing my head in, nothing seems to be fixing it
Just wondering what you have tried and if it worked. I've tried tums, quickeze, mylanta the mw suggested crackers and milk? it did not work! Seeing Dr tomorow so might have to get something on prescription but any ideas????

I use natural almonds and chew them heaps and heaps, it works quite well although if it is really bad I have to eat lots of almonds!

I hope it gets better!

Shannon, I've been taking Titralac for indigestion, and it works well for that. I've been getting the odd bit of heartburn lately, but a glass of milk usually helps with that. Hope you find something that works for you!

Kiwisj, they are just antacids - Contains: Saccharin sodium, calcium carbonate BP 420mg.

They are made by 3m in Aussie.

I use to get really bad HB with DD ...So bad that I use to run around the house in the middle of the night crying as I was on fire!! and the only thing that helped me was Gavascon (sp??) Liquid.
I liked Linseed flavour!!

Good luck I hope it eases for you soon!

Ok have some gaviscon and titrilac so hopefully one will work! Will let you all know
Kellz i dont think i could cope without chocolate! I seriously did not eat it before being preg cause it made me sick but now i cant go a couple of days with out some!

I just asked at my 1st antenatal class tonight, as the indigestion is currently making me feel really sick. And the usual remedies (almonds, icecream, milk) don't seem to cut it anymore.
Someone suggested Gaviscon liquid instead of tablets, as it works quicker. Someone also said that sometimes having your head down can bring it on, and I have been doing a lot of forward bends with yoga lately, so who knows....
Also was advised to cut down on orange and tomato juice (which I don't drink, but I eat oranges and tomatoes). Apple, pineapple and pawpaw on the other hand are meant to be good.

Titralac and almonds for me too, and cold milo (obviously it's the milk but I don't like just straight milk lol).

A warning about gaviscon liquid - it says on the bottle not to have it within half an hour of lying down. Don't ignore this advice! I took it in the middle of the night one night and lay back down and it came straight back up my throat again...gross. Probably won't happen to everyone but I certainly won't take it in bed again!

Hi Shannon!

Poor thing, I hate heartburn and was getting it so badly it was making me vomit at night in bed, but had it all day long, finally called my MW this monday and she prescribed Ranitidine. It works wonders. I've had 2 whole days with no hearburn, and I can't even believe it..

I tried almonds, and milk, and mylanta, uh... NOTHING worked at all, the mylanta worked for 5 min.

Hope you figure it out, it is so painful
