im 35 wks and suffering very bad from heartburn. the doctor gave me a list of over the counter drugs im aloud and the only thing listed for this is tums so i wont touch anything else. they use to work for me but lately they dont do shit. needless to say even if i wanted to try taking them i cant because i ate the last earlier today and the store is closed.i've had heartburn for almost 5 straight hours and i cant take it anymore.have any of you had this problem and what are some home sollutions i could try?? ↓

| Ahhh yes I remember the dreaded heartburn. Mine got soooo bad during the last month, I finally broke down (after popping like 3 tums a day - which is getting close to the max calcium you'd wanna ingest) and went with my midwife's suggestion and took pepcid :( I tried never to take drugs during the pregnancy, but man that heartburn was killer. Sorry I can't be of more help. ↑ |

| milk is good for short term relief until you get more over the counter stuff.. a big huge glass of milk should help.. ↑ |

| they actually let you take that?? in the list he gave me it said tums,rolaids,and such but nothing worked or was really nasty so i stuck with the tums. they dont work anymore and im out, i dont know how to get rid of this, ive had it for 5 hours now and arent going to be able to sleep. thats weird though, i didnt know you could take stuuf like that. i have a appt tomorrow so i will ask but what am i suppose to do about tonight?? ↑ |

| I think milk can be somewhat hard on your tummy after a while. I remember it feeling great when it first went down, but it's really hard to digest and I would think that means that it takes more acid to break it down in your tummy, and therefore worse heartburn...does that make any sense? Anyhoot, I can't think of anything but lots of water ↑ |

| water makes heartburn worse actually. ↑ |

| One of my patients told me she drinks apple cider vinegar to cure her heartburn...distilled white would prolly work too. You could also try peppermint anything, peppermint gum helped me sometimes ↑ |

| ooo omg all of that makes me want to puke, the thought of heartburn and all that stuff, wooey talk about throwing up. i couldnt eat anything mint, i hated toothpaste it made heartburn so bad lol ↑ |

| Lol Coartney, you're comment on the toothpaste reminded me that brushing my teeth made me puke EVERY time. It wasn't the paste cause I tried different kinds. It was just the simple act of brushing...how pathetic am i! ↑ |

Well...water is neutral...so it won't kill the acid in your stomach.
Milk leans more toward an alkaline which will cancel out some of the acid for while.
I find Rennie amazing!! You should go out and look for it! It kills the burn as soon as I swallow it and it doesn't come back for about a day!! Honestly. It's great.
I've had bad heartburn the last week and I keep Rennie on my locker.
Also they're delish!!
Go buy them :P ↑ |
