Terrible heartburn

[Sair]

I was on Pariet in my 3rd trimester, as long as I remembered to take it every day I was fine.

Tums were the best for me..

My father who suffers from heartburn and usually has quick eze or whatever was surprised how fast the tums worked and they actually taste not to bad, they sorta have an orange flavor to them.

Good luck.

yeah i agree re the tums - i have had bad heartburn with both pregs and i also have an ulcer which makes it worse.. someone told me totry tums and i think they are FAB.

Only thing I ever found helped me with heartburn was to lay on he side its on with nothing on. Bras and tight clothes just seemed to keep aggrivating it. So I slink off to my room, strip down and lay on my side with a nice cool sheet over me.

there are definately stronger drugs they can give you than zantac, so do tell them. Poor love it is horrible.

Going to sound dumb, but have you tries Fruit Tingles? (you know the lollies) - they are mainly sodium bicarbonate - they really seem to work, though you do get sick of them after a bit.

You ladies have some GREAT advice.

Would LOVE to rip off all my clothes but since I'm in hospital I might just scare a few people LOL!!

Will try the fruit tingles because I love them anyway and it's a good excuse to eat lollies.

And will get mum to buy me some Tums and will research the Pariet.

Thanks for all your replies
