    have you tried just a glass of milk? I used zantac (150mg/12hr one) in the last trimester, towards the end when it was REAL bad, I would have to get up (always worse at night when lying down) and have a glass of milk or milo or aktavite. seemed to help a bit.
    Can you speakto your doc to see if theresany thing else they can suggest?

    Best to get it checked out thoroughly by your dr...I had what I thought was recurring reflux but turned out to be inflamed liver from gallbladder attacks. It's fairly common for gallbladder problems to come on during pg. I hope that's not it, but worth getting checked to rule it out. Hope you get some relief soon.

    I've had it every day since approx 8 weeks preg, it is def worse if i've had a big meal or if i'm hungry.
    Nothing has helped although having a small glass of milk seems to calm it somewhat.
    Maybe give it a try
    Otherwise i'm sorry not much help xo
