    buliej have u tried Zantac??

    I'm 20wks (almost 21wks) pregnant and have suffered servere acid indigestion/heartburn for the last 3wks and nothing has worked until my midwife suggested the Zantac and surprise surprise it actually helped me, my heartburn was that bad i was vomitting and couldnt sleep of a night time

    Goodluck and hope it eases for you

    Thanks

    I'll keep that in mind for the future. Things have improved - it seems like it was just a really bad night - the rest of the time it's manageable with the Remmie (?) tablets.

    Hi Buliej,

    Great you're feeling better and really wonderful to see your pregnancy is going well. I am 21 weeks now and also have a problem with reflux which started when I was on a high carb diet because of the GD test. I've eaten pickles and olives as I read somewhere to fight like with like and it helps, my doula also recommended slippery elm but I haven't tried it yet, since I am eating less carbs things have improved, I alao make sure I am sitting upright for a few hours after I've eaten.
