Hi Emma

I suffer from esophagitis anyway so heartburn is quite a frequent visitor. Normally I would be on medication but as am now pregnant don't want to take anything, plus I keep getting allergic reactions to meds. Anyways, the rennie chewable softmint are quite nice and defo more effective than the chalky type rennie.

They sell them in packs of 3 tubes in boots with all the other rennie's.

They're just like a proper chewable softmint so more like a sweet than heartburn stuff.

They're obviously not as strong as proper medication but they are safe to eat during prenancy and you can eat a whole tube in a day and they tend to do the trick, or if not they defo take the edge off.

I know how you feel with the discomfort, it can get really painful at times and I hate when it stops me sleeping too.

cold milk or semi flat lemonade....
I have these inbetween doses of gaviscon (or the cheap version the GP gave me, which isn't that bad...)
