Marika is it ranitidine? that's what I got prescribed and it's worked a treat.

It's also sold under the name Zantac which is more well known I think.

Apparently they give it in liquid form to babies in NICU and SCBU so I was very happy it was safe to take.]]> Sun, 18 Jul 2010 14:19:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1101826&title=reflux-heartburn#1101826 <![CDATA[reflux/heartburn : i have been perscribed with Mylanta...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1101460&title=reflux-heartburn#1101460 Author: sallysue

I have it sooo badly... i woke up the other night actually choking on stomach acid in my mouth and fumes from it... yuck yuck,.,. its disgusting.

I have been taking Gaviscon but dont like to take too much as it has artificai sweetners in it- so got my doc to prescribe something.. begins with R ... and its almost completely stopped it!! only have to take 2 a day.. one right before bed.. and i havent woken up with it since! Its safe for pregnancy too (was my specialist who prescribed it)]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:49:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1067124&title=reflux-heartburn#1067124 <![CDATA[reflux/heartburn : Chocolate ice cream!

I had horrible reflux all the way through pregnancy with Sienna. Just toughed it out with the Gaviscon tablets, couldn't stand the liquid version, it was like drinking chalk! I did ask about Losec but because it's a fairly new drug it hasn't been tested properly with pregnant women (that's what my nurse at work told me anyway). What did help with my reflux was McDonalds thickshakes, sounds silly and didn't tale it away completely but made it waaaay less painful. ]]> Sun, 13 Jun 2010 07:52:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1061499&title=reflux-heartburn#1061499 <![CDATA[reflux/heartburn : I had bad heartburn too, I toughed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1060724&title=reflux-heartburn#1060724 Author: High9

Hi,

I have suffered badly with heartburn. Have you tried titralac? I found this was the only thing that helped. Everything else, Gaviscon etc just made me feel sick.

Hope you find something soon :-)]]> Fri, 11 Jun 2010 17:31:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1060403&title=reflux-heartburn#1060403 <![CDATA[reflux/heartburn : It is called ManukaGuard Nutralize,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1030938&title=reflux-heartburn#1030938 Author: SophiasMummy

I'm using that Manuka / Apple Cider Vinegar Nutralize stuff too and the info I got specifically said it was safe for pregnancy. And it totally works for me - I hate gaviscon so this stuff is great (plus it doesn't interfere with the iron tablet absorption like the gaviscon does). Don't be fooled by the addition of the honey or flavouring (it comes in peach or maple), it still tastes like vinegar ]]> Sun, 16 May 2010 21:31:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1029829&title=reflux-heartburn#1029829 <![CDATA[reflux/heartburn : Yeah - I hate the taste/texture...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1029347&title=reflux-heartburn#1029347 Author: Lucky apple

I have really bad reflux most nights (I wake up with vomit in my mouth type thing) I ahve found that as much as I HATE the Gaviscon dual action liquid it does the trick, so just block my nose and swallow, shudder and deal with it, at least its over with in a few seconds rather than having to deal with constant reflux.

Ive also found that some foods set it off too, like tomatoes, marmite, indian, chocolate etc so try avoiding things like that too]]> Sun, 16 May 2010 13:56:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1029220&title=reflux-heartburn#1029220 <![CDATA[reflux/heartburn : uggggggg I&#039;ve just started...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1029155&title=reflux-heartburn#1029155 Author: Rachel1982

I get quite bad heartburn and use titralac and gaviscon generally but I just got something new from pharmacy called ManukaGuard Nutralize which is made of Apple cider vinager and Manuka Honey. It was $30 for the bottle so maybe I got sucked in! But the pharmacist was totally honest and said that it had only just arrived in and she had not sold any yet and could I come back and let her know if it was any good!!! Should have asked for a discount!
Anyway enough ramble .... based on that I think it would be fine to take cider vinager. The pharmacist rechecked just to be sure this product was okay in pregnancy.
I took the stuff last night before bed and got no heartburn all night so maybe it is good, will give it a few more nights before I am convinced though.]]> Sat, 15 May 2010 21:05:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1028700&title=reflux-heartburn#1028700 <![CDATA[reflux/heartburn : www.bragg.com - havent looked...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33418&PID=1028655&title=reflux-heartburn#1028655 Author: Kellz

I've been starting to get this quite bad at night and milk isn't helping like it did last time, but i read online somewhere that apple cider vinegar can be really good (i HATE Gaviscon etc). BUT i went to buy some today and the lady at the healthshop thought it might not be safe for pregnancy?? does anyone know if it is or not, or has tried it?
