Is Mylanta OK to take in 1st tri for severe indigestion?

[Inanna]

It's true Leasha some antacids do have aluminium in them. You just need to check which ones. Gaviscon was safe when I was pregnant but I am loathe to say that as it could have changed ingredients. The same with Mylanta - it did have aluminium but that could have changed.

Big hugs , it's awful isn't it? I had shocking heartburn and indigestion when pg with DD. I took Mylanta constantly while pg, I was under the impression it was OK to take.

I hope it passes soon preggie lady .

My doctor said Mylanta was safe but also did mention tums but i cant stand that stuff. I suffered from really bad reflux before falling pregnant and i havent had any at all, oh i did at the beginning but it was when i threw up and it was really acidy. I even had spaghetti last night and that usually is a nightmare but am sweet as pie.

My chemist said it's fine but taking too much of it can block up the other end thus causing a whole other issue

I found black and gold fizz buttons worked really well for me. They are like fruit tingles but alot more acidic....
Goodluck

Oh hun, I hope this is as bad as it gets for you this pg LOL. It's so awful. I used mylanta rolltabs and had several packets all over the place to combat it as soon as I could feel it starting.

Thanks for your feedback. Mylanta dose have aluminium so I will contact my Dr too.
I am eating very small bland meals & that seems to help. But the idea of food is uck.
Milk is good so am sipping that.
Trillian I hope it doesn't hang around but my sisters both had it bad the whole way through their pgs....
