Horrible Heartburn

[Toxic_Angel]

Ugh it's getting really bad, i seem to get it more in mornings and at night, When i was pregnancy with Tania i didn't get it bad till i was about 28 weeks. But this time iv had it for weeks already!! i used to rely on drinks of milk and eating ice cubes! gaviscon used to work wonders for me now it seems to make it worse!!
Anyone else got it?
Advice on helping soothe it.

I get this often and eat cold white yoghurt. It works great for me. Hope it goes away as it's pretty annoying

I've only ever had heartburn when I was pregnant with Sophie and it was horrible! Can't suggest anything but have some

DON'T DRINK MILK

Honestly do not do it..it might feel soothing at first but it actually makes it a hell of a lot worse!!
Don't eat yoghurt or anything dairy..Drink cold water!! try the gaviscon and sitting up..don't slouch or lie directly down because it allows the acid up and makes it worse..also get someone to rub the middle of your back with the palm of their hand in small circles applying pressure for as long as they can (really works!!) Also...

*Don't drink fizzy drinks
*Don't eat tomatos/oranges/spicy food
*don't eat anything acidic like pickled onions!!

eat bland food like mash potato and fresh chicken.i know its boring but it helps!!


I have really bad acid reflux and i get it so bad i am on medication for life...the valve that stops the acid coming up has softened beyond repair and although i'm on medication i still get really bad heartburn at least once a week these things will help and the doctor who treated me has the same thing as me and shes the one who told me about the milk thing..its a really common suggestion on websites and everything but it makes it worse!!
