Braggs apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon.
I thought I would be enjoying cravings. Instead I cant stand the sight of everything. Im literally living on fruit salad and peanut butter because even cake looks unappetising
A glass of milk actually cures mine and I have GERD before the pregnancy so this pregnancy is killing me lol. If I have heartburn before bed I drink a glass of milk and it works better than my tums have been working.
I take a prescription called Protonix prescribed by my OB. Works for me. Um milk is a big no no for heartburn. Actually makes it worse. Milk products are actually harsh for all kinds of digestive issues, as milk curdles up with the acid in the stomach and causes acid production to increase. Imagine adding lemon juice or vinegar to a glass of milk. Gross. Glad it seems to help some people, but for most of us, makes it worse.
If you are wanting an all natural try some therapeutic grade essential oils. Ones that help are lemon, peppermint (be careful with how much as it can decrease milk but not too much), and one that is a mix called digest zen. You can add to water or milk and use all day.
Apple cider vinegar mixed with water and/or try chewing some gum. I've been taking tums, getting kind of sick of them and found these alternatives. They work and are safe.
Thx all.. It is nice to know we are not going through this alone!!
I have had really bad hb too my doc said pepcid ac.. i switched and its been a lot better
Ok. Nvm. No prilosec... I just looked it up out of curiousity. Time for me to get a new doctor.
Ask your doc for some prilosec. I told mine about the heart burn being so bad It made me sick. So she gave me 5 refills of prilosec and I love them .. I always k ow when I forfet to take it .. they work miracles!
do not rolaids! they are not approved during.pregnancy, but tums are. don't ask me the difference, but it's on my no no list from the.doctor.
The new soft chew tums are like a Starburst not chalky at all. Call your doctor Zantac and Pepcid are both stronger options that most doctors are okay with.
I used to think tums were gross too...but when you have a bunch of heartburn...you get desperate for something and then soon you like em..lol I started out liking the pink ones then orange then yellow and green and not liking pink ones to now I like all any flavor as long as i t gets rid of heartburn lol...I also reccomend milk(: or ask your doctor they can prescribe you something
My doctor prescribed me pepcid 20MG and one pill works all day and night for me
Ya my doc recommend the low zantac dose and I know that mint helps me also I believe u can take the rolaid version of tums but ask ur doc first to make sure
My doctor recommended Zantac 35. I feel your pain, though. Heartburn suuuuuucks right now and I can only eat so many Tums.
Drink a big glass of cold milk
Tums also has the chewy ones. I don't really mind tums. I buy the smoothie ones. They're not as hard and they don't seem as chalky. Also milk is supposed to help and ice cream. But it doesn't do a whole lot for me.
I use rolaids mint flavor. Tums never helped me but I love me some rolaids!
