I am finding it extremely hard to drink anything except for milk.
As a result I am thirsty a lot cos Im not drinking enough water, but water is the absolute worst thing for my reflux. As soon as I have a mouthful I feel sick.
None of the over the counter medication does anything for it, so I am going to see my GP on Wednesday to see if theres anything prescription wise that may be worth a try.
The thing is I am taking Chinese Herbal Medicine and Im not sure I can have the two at the same time either..
have tried cordial, it doesnt help. I actually like water, I'm just having trouble forcing myself to do it cos of the pain ah well, at least it will go away once the bub is here..i hope! lol
You poor thing, I have lived a lifetime of reflux and I know what you mean about drinking water. I am known to get huge dehydration headaches because I'd rather not drink (I make sure I drink while I'm pg though ). At least if you can handle milk you will be getting enough. How frustrating about the feeling of thirst all the time though. I've always just sipped water/cordial and taken my time to drink it, then it doesn't hit too bad.
Ray, that is terrible! I was trying AP for ages to try and get heartburn under control, as well as over the counter stuff like gaviscon and mylanta, but they didn't do anything other than give me maybe 10 minutes relief. I have been on pariet (a drug prescribed by my GP) for about a week now, and it is the best thing I have done all pregnancy! I sleep and can lay down and eat well etc etc. I hope you find something that works for you soon!
