Heartburn HELP!
Is there anything that we can take for heartburn???
I'm currently eating a freezer pop and it's helping - but as soon as it passes my throat - no more help.....
The burning is INTENSE...(preventing me from falling alseep even, hence the post)...
okay.....based on another thread i found...i am currently munching on Rolaids....i just took 3...and i am chewing gum (according to pregnancy week by week)....

Re: Heartburn HELP!
the rolaids helped bring it from a 10 to a 5 - so that's SOMETHING...
i'm going to pick up some pepsid or zantac on my way to work.
it's going to be a VERY long day....
Sleep is over-rated!

Re: Heartburn HELP!
mylanta i the only thing that "helps"....also, try to avoid foods that are acidic (sauce, ketchup, oj, stuff like that). Also, onions. You will figure out what works for you and what doesnt. Hope you feel better soon!!!

Re: Heartburn HELP!
In the beginning, nothing worked for me. I would vomit often because the acid was so bad. I actually had acupuncture done to help. It worked wonders until midway through my 3rd tri! Now I take a Zantac, as per my doctor.

Re: Heartburn HELP!
It justs gets worse......there really isn't much help I have found. I take tums like they are candy and I also drink milk - it helps for a while and it's good for the baby!

Re: Heartburn HELP!
Well - i finally gave in and hit the bed at 6:30 - and then had to get up at 9:00 - WOO HOO...
The Rolaids made it manageable....but i'm going to have to speak to the doc about it. I was on Nexxium before pregnancy...but i doubt that's okay....
I'm eating some crackers now - hoping that may help before overdosing on Rolaids again...

Re: Heartburn HELP!
I drink liquid aloe - all natural, strawberry kiwi flavor. Yum. I drink 2oz. in the morning, and then right before I go to bed. Totally helps with acid reflux/heartburn. Doctor okayed it, and actually said the aloe is helpful for the ambilical cord.
TMI - also helps with consipation from iron in pre-natals... 
There are many types out there, but I get mine from:
Aloe Link

Re: Heartburn HELP!
I have to take a zantac before going to bed, so I can get through the night. I can't take all this heartburn.

Re: Heartburn HELP!
I live on Tums and had DH bring me a glass of milk this morning before I could even get out of bed.
I had it in my 1st trimester, not to bad in my second and now it's wicked at 33 weeks.

Re: Heartburn HELP!
My doctor said I could take Zantac 75 twice per day. I only take it when my heartburn is really bad. It helps tremendously.
