HOLY HEARTBURN!! :-(

I'm 22weeks and 2days...I've dealt with heartburn throughout my pregnancy but its getting bad now. Every time I eat anything I can feel the acid bubble up!! Its so painful and frustrating...I take tums like candies when its bad but its such temporary relief...I'm lactose intolerant so milk is out of the question...any other suggestions? I'm dreading laying down for bed in a couple hours!!

Hey there mommy to be. I am on your side with the horrible heartburn. I tried tums... then Zantac.. then Zantac with tums. All gave temporary relief. I was just prescribed Protonix by my OB and No More Heartburn!!!! Try Zantac 150 mg over the counter first.  Hope this helps: -)
