    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.

    Milk is good so am sipping that.

    I found the Gaviscon Dual Action liquid quite good, it's in a pink bottle.

    This thread is soo soo handy I have the worst indigestion!! I am sucking on mints and I find Milk makes it worse and I have Gaviscon liquid and mylanta tablets but too scared to use them but might try the fruit tingles aswell ... I thought this early in preg wouldn't have any side effects but last 2 days indigestion and reflux in fill swing!!
