I have real bad heartburn and finally went to the Pharmacist today after work and they recommended Titralac. Was $13.50 for 100 tablets so I got some. You can either suck, chew or swallow tabs. May I say.... it was INSTANT relief! Such a good feeling! Is safe during pregnancy as well of course ]]> Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:13:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=857799&title=heart-burn#857799 <![CDATA[heart burn! : I had intergestion really bad...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=857504&title=heart-burn#857504 Author: MumOnTheRun

I had intergestion really bad in my first pregnancy and this one is now getting bad too (i am 24 weeks)

I find the a tea spoon of baking soda in a little bit of water and shot it back helps.

It makes you burp hard out but makes you feel so much better! ]]> Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:34:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=857504&title=heart-burn#857504 <![CDATA[heart burn! : Heartburn is awful, I hate that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=854684&title=heart-burn#854684 Author: gossamer

Just wanted to add in that I have upgraded from using Gaviscon to using ranitidine and oh my goodness life at night time is SO PLEASANT!

It was getting so bad that when I woke up for a toilet stop and had a drink of water at the same time (always try to as get so thirsty), then I would find it hard to get back to sleep as the heartburn would start! So finally gave in and asked the dr for the tablets and tried them last night and they are wonderful.

Def recommend to anyone-it is hard enough getting sleep without feeling like vomiting from heartburn!!!!]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:07:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=852258&title=heart-burn#852258 <![CDATA[heart burn! : Luke did have a lot of hair but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=844123&title=heart-burn#844123 Author: LJsmum

I had severe heartburn my whole pregnancy.

I found nothing helped.

One thing you could try is tilting the top of your bed, put some timber under the posts or something.

i was also told at 35wk scan dd had heaps of hair.

That's interesting, I suffered quite bad heartburn through most of my pregnancy and my girl had a good head of hair when she arrived!

I lived on milk and Mylanta to help ease mine. Luckily it wasn't too bad in the evenings, afternoons were the worst for some reason.]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:18:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=837782&title=heart-burn#837782 <![CDATA[heart burn! : here you go escadachic Q: What...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=837704&title=heart-burn#837704 Author: MrsEmma

here you go escadachic

Q: What is the difference between heartburn and indigestion? They just seem very similar and in the same area with pain. Whats the difference?

A:Heartburn is a symptom of acid indigestion. Heartburn is a burning sensation generally felt in the chest caused by stomach acids traveling up your esophagus. A sour stomach is abdominal discomfort often accompanied by heartburn. Heartburn is caused by acid reflux - acid travelling back up the eosophagus which burns the inside of the tube causing the pain. The pain is felt in the chest which is why its called heartburn - it feels like its caused by the heart, but its just close to it, not actually the heart. Indigestion is cause by many things - over eating, too much alcohol, too much spicy food, too much fatty food etc. The pain is generally felt in the stomach area. I went to a gastroentreologist this week and asked the same thing. Heartburn you probably know, indigestion apparently feels like a meal that sits there for a long time. I think heartburn is more specifically a burning sensation.... indigestion is more of a fullness, like it says lack of digestion or slow digestion. Heartburn is acid reflux. Indigestion is stomach upset (dyspepsia). The two are closely intertwined and often go together.]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:50:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=837704&title=heart-burn#837704 <![CDATA[heart burn! : By the way, what is the difference...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=837286&title=heart-burn#837286 Author: escadachic

By the way, what is the difference between heartburn and indigestion? Are the the same thing or not?

To me, I thought indigestion is the acidic feeling in my throat.

I thought heartburn was when your heart appears to feel tight or a little uncomfortable.

Ugh , heartburn , I had it with both , I think it was the worst thing about being pregnant .
I drank lots of milk , and with C I had titrilac, with Ty I had mylanta ...or was it gaviscon, I can't remember .

Thank goodness it goes once the baby is here! (tho with Ty I still had it for the first 3 days post birth)

Yeah, Mylanta is temporary relief for your stomach acid. I like the spreadmint flavour, or mint flavour on the liquid. Quite soothing in fact. You have to try it. So you will know. Everybody's case is different.

The stronger one is called losec, but for that one it's better chat with your GP before taking them. It used to be prescription only item.

For me, mylanta is enough. Oh, don't eat too much each meal but eat frequently. It helps too. ]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:26:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=835106&title=heart-burn#835106 <![CDATA[heart burn! : I&#039;ve suffered badly from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29773&PID=834567&title=heart-burn#834567 Author: _Deb_

I've suffered badly from it with both pregnancies. It actually gets really painful sometimes. Got the acid reflux to go with it too. I go through so much milk as i find it helps a bit. I have quickeze too which help a little. I've found Mylanta & Gaviscon don't help at all & actually make it worse sometimes. But i know some poeple say they really help.

I'm on ranitidine for it and can certainly tell when I've missed my meds for a dose. If I don't take it twice a day on time I have terrible acid. Was kept awake all last night with it, not pleasant.

For me, yoghurt and milk help.

Yip, have had terrible heartburn throughout most of the 2nd and 3rd trimesters

Have also found milk helps, but have to drink chocolate milk as I can't stand normal milk. Also find eating lots of yoghurt helps too.

I took Mylanta for a while, but then went on to Gaviscon and honestly would not go back! Yes, it tastes disgusting, but it definitely works much better for me. Also, try propping up your bed mattress with some books. I have done this and I think it helps a little bit as the flatter I lie the worse it is.
I am so looking forward to this little one being out just so I don't have heartburn anymore!

Oh and apparently bad heartburn means bubs will have lots of hair. Whether this is true in all cases I'm not sure, but at my 35 week scan he said "well she won't be bald!!!"

I have bad heartburn, but milk, yoghurt and smoothies all work towards keeping it at bay. Lucky I really like milk and I went through a craving stage of wanting little other than egg sandwiches and milk. The heartburn has only really been bad since about 30 weeks or so.
