The chewing gum thing, however, does actually work! Also, milky stuff, ice cream, bananas all seem to help a bit. Also, sleeping propped up when you do have it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartburn-tips#post-48751 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 17:48:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 48751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maalox, and lots of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartburn-tips#post-48693 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:34:28 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 48693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have noticed that laying on my left side makes it feel better. The moment I switch positions, it comes back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartburn-tips#post-48684 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:00:27 +0000 SugarplumsMom 48684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat an apple!

It sounds strange, but it totally worked for me. I think the breathing and relaxing/stretching of my chest muscles is what did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartburn-tips#post-48549 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:41:15 +0000 lemondrop 48549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prilosec is all that worked for me. Zantac and Tums didn't work. </p> <p>Eat/drink early before you lay down for the night- literally give yourself several hours. </p> <p>Avoid chocolate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartburn-tips#post-48548 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:37:25 +0000 owlmom 48548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why can't you take tums? If it's a texture/gag reflex issue, have you tried the smoothie version? Their texture is a lot easier for me to get down. I also took Zantac when my heartburn was really bad, and that helped a lot. I have a friend who swears by papaya extract for heartburn, but I've never tried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartburn-tips#post-48538 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:31:43 +0000 Clementine 48538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you take Zantac? My doctor said if my heartburn ever got really bad that it was fine for me to take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartburn-tips#post-48515 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 22:32:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 48515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had horrible heartburn with RJ... good news is that your baby will probably be born with lots of hair!! :) </p> <p>At night I slept with 3, sometimes 4 pillows under my head. I basically slept sitting up. I also avoided chocolate, caffeine, tomato sauce, fried foods, and any other super acidic foods. I sometimes drank a tall glass of cold skim milk to soothe the fire. And of course there's always Tums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/heartburn-tips#post-48514 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 22:29:51 +0000 junebugmama 48514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he little one got gumballs from Santa, I'm hunting those puppies down as we speak!
