Heartburn!!!

[Rachaellius]

Lol I'm such a dumbass I originally posted this in the November thread by accident

Anyway does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get rid of heartburn? It's making me feel awful I was up half the night with it last night and it actually made me physically sick
I tried everything...a dry biscuit, milk, water, rennies, gaviscon and propping up my pillows but none of it worked and I ended up sitting up being sick!

It's made me feel awful today, sooo tired and had a banging headache all day and now the heartburn is coming back, for some reason I only get it on an evening and night time...I even tried eating really bland foods during the day. But I don't think I could cope with another night like last night, feel like crap already without another awful nights sleep

Anyone got any suggestions?

ive tried milk and that works, but also try mints as they work for me too.

I've taken to a glass of milk before bed, and that keeps it under control. Also I have a slice of cake or something absorbant like before bed too. And don't eat or drink anything acidic all evening!

iv tried everything too hun and it keeps me up at night as well, i've also been physically sick from it. there was a similar thread on here a few weeks back, i'm booking a dr's appt on monday as apparently the dr can give u an excellent medication that gets rid of it and can be taken when preggers. have a look through the threads over the past few weeks and you'll find it xx

I get the gaviscon advanced prescribed in a massive bottle free from the doctors but I hear the tablets they can give u work instantly and r fab. Get yourselves down the doctors Hun xxx

Aww Hun, it's horrid isn't it, I've been prescribed gaviscon advance and tablets, they help a bit but I'm still suffering. I've found Tescos own brand heartburn and indigestion liquid works really well too. And it's only£2 a bottle lol, hope docs can help and you feel better soon, hugs

I use to live on Icey Poles during the day and had my gaviscon at night and it seemed to help a lot. Think there are others on here who used similar and said it worked for them too.

Good luck with what ever you use and just know it goes as soon as you have LO, well mine did anyway.

With my last pregnancy i used to eat tums by the bucket load, not really had much with this baby but its starting. A lady i know said polos work a treat so could try them x

Hope you've got something for your heartburn now, I took Omeprazole tablets prescribed by the dr - it completely got rid of my heartburn.
I'm pleased to say it disappears straight after you give birth too
