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

[Miss K]

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!!

i found tums was a god send. i had bad heart burn from 10wks with DS, and on and off since about 8 with this bub. taking up to 8 tabs of tums a day is good - two after each meal plus two before bed = wonderful, i also found that with DS i had 'midnight' sickness and taking two before i threw up helped it to be less acidic on the way back up...

I loved Gaviscon, the box was marked aluminium free. I still have a heap of it.
