Tums isn't working I usuallysuffer with it for about an hour then I barf up my food. The doctor said to take tums 5 times a day but this is hell its so painful i'm 25 weeks any suggestions? ↓

Wow Tella, I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't really know what to tell you except keep taking your tums...maybe drink lots of water and eat very small meals several times a day or else just kinda snack all day long. Like a granola bar or piece of fruit here and there. I really hope this doesn't last too long for you. ↑

I get really bad HB also.I yake tums and my doctor also gave me a perscription. I hardley ever have HB now. My doctor gave Protonix and previcid. You should talk to ur doctor about it. It has done wonders for me. ↑

I was told to drink milk. It is supposed to get rid of heartburn but I haven't had any really bad heartburn yet and I am 29 wks.
GOOD LUCK!! ↑

I had really bad heartburn during my pregnancy too. I would have to carry a big container of tums with me because I would eat a whole roll in one setting. My Dr. finally put me on Aciphex and it was great! I had to ask her though, she kept telling me that tums are a good source of calcium anyway, when I finally told her how bad it was, that's when she prescribed for me. No amount of milk or antacids were helping. ↑

Multi-Symptom Rolaids are the best. They work when nothing else will. Good luck. ↑
