Smoothies by tums are the only thing I tolerate. And lemonade. It's so strange.  Lol but it works for me.

I've been taking TUMS the past week or so, and I also drink milk because I have to mix it with my Carnation Breakfast Essentials for nutritional reasons.. sooo, I guess maybe both are helping! (((:

My heartburn got so bad my Dr prescribed me Omeprazole 40mg (Prilosec) daily since my heartburn was a daily occurrence. For fast relief she told me to take Famotidine (pepcid) as needed

I've been getting terrible heartburn since about 16 weeks but my doctor prescribed me some tablets called omprazole last week and haven't had it once since.

Milk, ice cream, tums. And if it's really bad your Dr can prescribe you something.
