Heartburn/ indigestion help

[pupperino]

Hello!

So I have been having constant heartburn/ indigestion - all day and night for the last 2 days. It isn't just after meals and it's so loud that other people can hear it!

I have tried a top line antacid which is safe for pregnancy, but it provides no relief .. I get the heartburn back seconds later. I have thought about ripping out my oesophagus and stomach, but perhaps a last resort at this stage

Does anyone have any remedies or ideas to help this settle the f down?? x

Hi pup!
I have been having the same issue even waking up in the middle of the night to it. I have found that drinking milk has helped so today I’ve had a bottle of milkshake on my desk at work and so far no heartburn!

Oh thank you for the suggestion!

For some reason I would have thought milk could make it worse, but totally makes sense! Nice and easy to have at work too. I’ll give it a go

Yeah worth a go! Mine was so bad I woke up a few nights ago and ended up being sick from but since drinking allllll the milk/milkshake it’s been a lot better! Still there but calmer xxx

I would suggest milk too, I’ve had bad heartburn/indigestion most of the pregnancy it went a few weeks ago only to come back.
I’ve also been eating mints they provide short relief for me

Ranitidine from your gp. It's the only way I survived my 2nd pregnancy.

Yep, milk works. Google says the fat in milk makes it worse but it's not true! Also mushing up bananas can help x

Thanks everyone for the tips!! Thankfully the heartburn has settled down after a few days.. but will definitely try those extra things when it comes back again! x
