I had a prescription for Zantac. I didn't take it every day though. I just took it when I felt it coming on. Also, @anonysquire's suggestion works. I would drink a little pickle juice if I was in a pinch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-317227 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:54:43 +0000 anonysquire 317227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: have you ever tried drinking vinegar or making a paste of water and baking soda? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-317046 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:52:38 +0000 Running Elley 317046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tums never works for me :( I get it really bad and the only thing that seems to help is drinking cold milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-317033 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:32:20 +0000 anonysquire 317033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try a swig of pickle juice or a capful of apple cider vinegar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-317001 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:30:38 +0000 JerricaBenton 317001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try crystallized ginger.

We'll see how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-316894 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 12:53:00 +0000 SleepyMonkey 316894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tums works for me most of the time.

They do. But I have to take three at a time for them to work</p> <p>ETA: that is the extra strength ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-316880 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 12:40:35 +0000 pinkcupcake 316880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had really bad reflux during my first trimester, but just had to wait it out :( Tums didn't really help me, unfortunately. Ugh, sorry you're going through it! Hopefully it goes away soon?</p> <p>On a positive note - old wives' tale says that lots of heartburn = baby with tons of hair? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-316875 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 12:29:53 +0000 travelgirl1 316875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I read somewhere that taking tums for pregnancy heartburn was like peeing on a bush fire, lol. Do they really help you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-316856 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 12:16:59 +0000 DillonLion 316856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of Tums and a prayer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-316852 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 12:15:13 +0000 travelgirl1 316852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh it's horrible isn't it! I've been taking zantac since my sixth week of pregnancy, as well as gaviscon when needed as it's got a soothing property that numbs it as it goes down. Can you get them where you are? Other tips are don't eat veg/fruit on their own, only ever with a protein, don't have citrus, don't drink with a meal (20 minutes before or after is best) and prop yourself up with pillows in bed so if it comes up while you're asleep it shouldn't make you choke like has happened to me a few times. These are all tips from my doctor and they all help. Hope you feel better soon : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/refluxugh#post-316823 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 11:44:02 +0000 boiledpnut 316823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure many of you are dealing with or have had to deal with reflux during pregnancy. What did you do to make it better? DH is reluctant to raise the bed a few inches. I keep nagging him about it, so we'll see what happens. </p>
