Been having dreaded indigestion and heartburn for a couple of days on and off now its horrible. Have been generally feeling off colour tbh, my blimmin bowels have gone into overdrive again which doesnt help.

Slept on my back mostly last night because of the heartburn, is this ok? I usually sleep however is most comfy but a lot of you have been saying its not wise to sleep on your back. Cant really sleep on my side though because it does naff all for the heartburn!

i think propping up helps relieve it, and try taking milk to bed with you, im doing well so far not managed to get any yet 8)

WHY did you buy it!! you can get it free in 1L bottles off the doctors!!

I found drinking a little milk helped, and keeping a glass of milk by the bed and sleeping on more pillows. I found which ever way i slept didn't help the heartburn!
Went through 3 litre bottle of gaviscon and also lived on rennies!!

Don't get gaviscon cool tablets they are vile!!

I have a great tip for you girls with heartburn. Before my pregnancy I suffered ( and still do sometimes) with GORD. Thats Gastro oesophageal reflux disease!

Anyway, if you put a couple of small wooden blocks under each foot of the bed at the head end, it will tilt the bed and your body slightly to help with the acid reflux. You won't really notice it. More pillows don't really help as they just tilt the neck and your body is then crunched up. You need to have the whole body more upright and working against gravity to keep the acid in your stomach! Hope that helps some of you?
