Acid Reflux

What do you ladies take for acid reflux? I'm 31 weeks and a few days and the past three weeks I've been waking up from a dead sleep vomiting from acid reflux. It gets up into my nose. The lining of my throat is burning. I have a cold right now too and asthma so vomiting and coughing is literally killing my throat. I just woke up from sleeping and threw up so badly I peed my pants. I'm so over this. I cant have Zantac because I'm super allergic. I've been taking Protonix and drinking milk. Tums haven't been helping. I feel awful. What success have you had? I'll do anything.

Thanks ladies. I tried Pepcid yesterday and I actually slept through the night. Hope it continues to work.

I use ranitidine. Brand name is Zantac. Works really well and is safe for baby. That's what my doctor told me to use.
