acid reflux or heartburn?

[ashleylynn1987]

Several days a week I deal with sever acid reflux I think...its a burning sensation in my throat and feels like something is hung in the middle of my throat. Mostly with spaghetti and foods of that nature so I cut them out of diet. However It occurs at random, any suggestions on how to ease that.

Prilosec for 2weeks only

Nexium is a category B heartburn medicine and safe to take during pregnancy. It's over the counter  :)

My doctor told me prilosec, they cost $22.00. But he said go to sams & get the generic ones they were cheaper.they called omeprazole they cost $10.00, take 1 every morning.& ever since last week i been taking them & no acid reflex or heart burn.

Thanks ladies! I did not even know I could take Tim's or ro laids during pregnancy this is my first so I am learning alot!!

I use Listerine breath strips. I put one in my mouth, let it melt and breath in deeply thru my open mouth. Sounds odd, but it works for me.

Also prop yourself up in bed when you sleep. Don't sleep flat because the acid in your stomach will come up easier if you are laying flat. I like rolaids. They seem to work better.

I think gaviscon is also pregnancy safe but talk to your doctor to be sure.

Have you tried taking Tums?...if that's not helping talk to your OB they will probably recommend over the counter Zantac
