[Tegala-7thMarch08]

i know this is a usless post but ive been having really bad heartburn everynight for a few weeks now and it takes me weeks 2 get things done lol but i finally bought my gaviscon n im going to test it out tonight... how sad am i lol

oh and it doesnt say but can i still take it when im also taking iron tablets???

Yeah its fine to take but they recommend u leave a couple of hours before & after the iron tablet so that the iron is absorbed properly, nothing major will happen if u have em together just means the iron wont work as well as it should do.

Im pretty sure you can take it with iron tablets. You dont need to pay for heartburn relief. Ask your midwife, she cant give you it but she can arrange a prescription for it. Its quite pricey.
Its not a benefits thing, you dont pay for prescriptions till a year after bean is born.

I've never tried it..I got desparate though and bought the peppermint chewable ones from Boots this morning, they've got to be better then the pink aniseed cr*p..

You'll need tonnes of it!!! If that fails, try milk! (Kylie knows...although it seems like a lifetime ago now!)

i bought the pepermint flavoured guey stuff cos i dont like anniseed

 

[Pregnopaws]

They only had aniseed in local chemist when I got some, and the whole taste/texture of it makes me gag, but it does seem to relieve the heartburn for a bit!

 

[Tegala-7thMarch08]

all that fuss over me buying it yesterday and i didnt even need to use it last night

 

[poppy160]

ooo I'm hoping that's gonna be me...now that I got off my arse and bought the stuff I won't need it

 

[**C**]

It's vile but it works!
