I eat the berry flavored tums. 2 works for me. I don't normally get heartburn, but that is what works for me in a minute.

You can try milk.

If it persists, I would contact your dr. Have you mentioned it to them?

I am not into taking "drugs" (haha... that sounds bad), so I try to go the natural route first.  Here is what I use when I am having heartburn...

1 tbsp. baking soda mixed with an 8 oz. glass of WARM water (reaaaally helps if it is warm)

Because heartburn is an acid and baking soda is a base, it instantly neutralizes it.  It really doesn't taste that great, but I "chug" it.  Give that a try... hopefully that will if nothing else, give you instant relief while you wait for Pepcid or whatever to take effect.

I get really bad acid reflux but tums works for me...I don't know about heartburn. I think that the Walmart brand (Equate) of Tums works waaay better than actual Tums do. I don't know why...Before pregnancy I would get heartburn and I would take Pepcid AC. I don't know if you can take it though pregnant?? Sorry...I wish I could help. You can run all of your drugs through www.safefetus.com to see if it is safe to take during pregnancy though.
