I take tums and just started some zantac. The zantac is a LIFESAVER! I was having a hard time sleeping because of heartburn and the past couple days i have not had any

My dr told me its okay to have the tums.. its extra calcium for baby too. I take a generic Prevacid for heartburn which is okay. As long as it fits in category a or b it is fine. So some over the counter heartburn pills are okay. I also take a magnesium supplement everyday that helps ke with heartburn too.
