Heartburn 🤮

Anyone have any heartburn recommendations??? I’ve been taking Tums but they don’t always help and I am struggling. My chest is on fire and it’s making me feel so sick. I have an appt next week but any tips in the meantime? 😭😭😭

Gaviscon, Rennies or ask for Omeprazole!

You can take gaviscon - I cant stomach the medicine so I do the chewable tablets (they do get stuck in your teeth which is annoying!). Also when you have an episode sit up and slowly drink some cold water I find that helps! Xx

Bicarb in some water… but second getting omeprazole! Also, avoid tomato based food, the acid sets it right off!

Some say that warm milk with honey works wonders I get it real bad at night and I have to sleep really elevated now 😅

prilosec!

Fresh mint tea

Strawberry nesquik has been my life saver!

Milk, pepcid, avoiding citrus food, red sauce, and once again MILK. It helped with my first

Definitely talk to your doc about medication, but drinking between meals rather than during meals was SUPER helpful for me. It keeps you from getting too full at one time and gives your stomach acid a fighting chance before moving up to your throat

Is there a nurse line you can call? I usually DM them through my app and tell them what I want. If you tell them you’re having trouble they will likely just throw in a prescription for you. I’m on 20mg Pepcid (famotidine) twice a day.

My Dr gave me a prescription for famotodine and it works. Sometimes I double the dose ... But I had GERD before pregnancy so I used to take at least 40 mg of antacids anyways Might sound gross but pickle juice works for me because the vinegar eats up some stomach acid. But you can't mix it with milk unless you're looking to throw up curdled milk....

Have warm drinks, makes water taste like spit but it helped me. Saltine crackers help. Elevate your head as you sleep to keep the acids down. Small bland meals.
