Best drink for acid indigestion?

[OneOfMyTurnsComingOn]

I know this has been done before, but I can't find it.

I'm really funny with drinks. Not keen on plain water, don't like tea, a bit off dilute juices but could drink if I'm desperate.

This acid is just doing my head in, and I don't drink anywhere near enough.

Milk :-)

Gavascon

milk - definitely - I was drinking gallons on the stuff when I was pregnant with DS - I kept a glass by my bed at night too.

Half a glass of soda water topped up with milk. Sipped

Seriously - MIL recommended this to me and it worked.

In fact, knowing we had no milk in the house one day I stopped at our local pub after work and ordered it - the bar maid knew exactly what I wanted and why. It must be a local thing.

It depends on the person. Milk can make it worse as it increases the amount of stomach acid. I suffer with reflux all the time not just in preg and if its bad then plain water really is the only thing that helps (tap not bottle)

Really? Soda and milk? Is that not disgusting?

I agree about the tap water but I'm struggling to drink it. Lots of things just make me gag. I could try sticking some in the freezer for a bit. That might help.

Ice cream. MIL is a retired nurse and recommended it. Lidl do a particularly nice choc-ice-on-a-stick type affair with almonds :o

It's keeping me sane so far (25+6)

Its not the best tasting, but think of it as medicine. I don't even like milk, but I was desperate and would have tried anything.

Not sure I could do it if it's not that nice.

Do like ice cream though. DP buys it quite a bit

Mint tea

Gaviscon or failing that milk.
