    I can't recommend anything but I found to ease heartburn I ate regularly(like 1-2 hourly), small meals, drank lots of water and watched the types of food I ate. I found dense (like grain bread) low GI foods best.

    You could just ask the pharmacist?

    I'm a big chilli eater and found by putting less birds eye chillies in everything my heartburn subsided. So if you're into spicy food.. maybe cut back.

    Tums worked (still works!) best for me.

    Milk also seems to help soothe it, and I sleep propped up a bit.

    Hope you get some relief soon, it's so uncomfortable x

    I had a prescription for Pariet from midway through the first trimester and it is FANTASTIC!

    Thanks everyone.

    I took myself off to the pharmacy last night and got a low dose of Zantac, without a prescription, used it last night and it seemed to work quite well! Might need a prescription for it later on when I get really big though. I will keep Pariet in mind, thanks!
