My heartburn has got progressively worse over the last few weeks so I feel for you Hun. I stick with gaviscon which works as long as I don't eat or drink after it.
i had it in the middle of the night one time and i couldnt do anything for the pain then i was actually sick and it felt better so drank a glas of milk very slowly xx
Milk and gaviscon seem to work best for me, but not always, just something u have to live with unfortunately Don't forget u can get gaviscon on prescription so its free!! Also started using remigel for when I'm out and about, checked with doc, they ok to use. It is awful tho, I wake up at least twice at night with it and have it during the day too x x
Are you using the gaviscon advance? I was just getting normal gaviscon and it would work for all of ive minutes. The advance stuff is excellent, and yeah it stinks but I always got the mint stuff and thought of toothpaste!
The strawberry gaviscon tablets are useable, It says 2-4 on the pack, but one seems to do the job if i dont eat or anything after it.
I cant take anythi minty flavoured, eugh gross (yes i have flavoured toothpaste LOL watermelon, yum ) Those icepop things work for immediate relief for me, (the lil juice tube things that you freeze?)
Would avoid Horlicks.. And also complex carbs seem to make mine worse.
Gaviscon advance liquid is the only thing that works for me (I can't take the tablets coz they make me wanna ) & drinking mildly flavoured milkshake helps.
My midwife also suggested propping myself up a bit when I go to bed coz it's worse when you lay flat.
Also, both my mum & m/i/l have suggested a little bit of milk (about the amount of a shot) with a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda mixed in. They both said it really works but you have to knock it back coz it tastes like s**t
