    I'm not much help because I am currently sucking down nealry 3L of milk a day. However I have those chalky tabs/drinks so only take them if necessary.
    Pick one that has minimum or no aluminium in it (Rennie I think has the lowest). Zantac can also be taken.
    One that really worked for me last time (just keep forgetting to buy them this time) is Fruit TIngles - you know the lollies?
    Also make sure you don't lie down for an hour or so after meals.

    I actually found that bananas worked well for me in my first tri, apparently they have a natural antacid in them that helps to settle the tum - be careful though because bananas also contribute to constipation

    Some good advice there. I am on the mylanta tabs as well. They are the only ones that taste half decent to me.

    Just wanted to let you know that the whole "If you suffer from bad heartburn while your pregnant than your baby will have lots of hair" must be a myth as at my scan this week they said my baby hardly has any hair and I ahve been suffering badly!
