It was my best friend my entire pregnancy
Ok great thanks hopefully I can finally get some release.
My doctor just told me to take tums at my last appt. Mines so bad and I actually had to ask if heartburn is really what I'm feeling because I've never experienced it before now. She even said that I should take pepcid if I end up eating to many tums during the day.
I was hospitalised last week with heartburn so you gave my sympathy. I can recommend a glass of milk to soothe the pain and yes you can take antacids.
Prilosec OTC is great to if Tums stop working for you.
I have eaten tums since the beginning and they have started not working after about 20 mins the heartburn comes back. So the doc said I could take a zantac in the morning and one on the evening....so far so good.
Tums is high on calcium, so they are good for you on top of being great for heart burn.
Just remember tums have calcium. ...I ended up with kidney stones from them with my first. I use prilocec for heartburn because if that
