Heartburn???

Ugh! Does anyone know how to at least ease heartburn? So far i have tried. Milk, water, bread, ice cream, sleeping straight up, crackers, and Tums i go threw a big huge bottle a week and that dont help anymore. Its to the point i dont want to eat and it makes me gag. Any other suggestions???

I'm on pantoprozal..I have acid reflux. I've had it for around 3 yrs now. It goes in and out. I would ask for for a medication to help. It can screw up your throat and cause other problems if bad enough.

Thanks everyone. I will try just about anything at this point. I did however just steal some of my son's Nerds and sucked on them and it did help for about 5 minuets. I have a horrible craving for ice water with ice chips in it but its making it worse. And its a pain in the butt cause I've been crushing the ice in the blender just to make the ice chips. Husband said he is sick of hearing the blender all night...lol

Tums and liquid antacids failed after a while for me. I was told we can take Zyantac (not sure if I spelled it right). So I went to Family Dollar here in the town I live in and it was like 5 dollars for 8 pills, so I looked at the generic brands they had and found the Family dollar brand that had the same exact ingredients as the zyantac and it works amazingly!

Popcorn works. You should use Tums sparingly, as they contain aluminum.

I take mylanta. My doctor said it's safe during pregnancy. I also heard almonds help, but I haven't tried them out yet.

You know what helped me a lot was eating carrots. That helped my heartburn as well as the extra help of fiber ;)
