I'm having a really hard time with reflux & heartburn this week. I'm drinking lots of water, eating papaya enzymes, and I've tried Tums, and nothing is helping ... I'm almost 30 weeks, and I haven't had reflux like this since week 20. UGH! What else can I try?

my dr okay'd Zantac! also, I know certain foods tend to trigger my heartburn, like tomatoes/tomato sauce and chocolate, so I stay away from them

maybe try a small glass of lowfat milk? my dr also said zantac is ok. i actually take prescription prilosec (zantac is not strong enough for me) and he said that is ok too (i'm 20 weeks). i took prescription prevacid all through my first pregnancy and my dr said that was fine too. (both pregnancies i tried to go without and was just suffering too much.) all the water may have a rebound effect, your stomach acid is so diluted that your body may increase acid production so you can digest your food. i'd call your doctor, there are plenty of safe options. hope you feel better soon!
