So I have a gtt test in the morning which means fasting from 10 pm tonight -
Which really worries me cos Ihave had horrible nausea which eating only gets rid of!
Does anyone know if I can take gaviscon if I need to as I have horrid heartburn if I dont eat ?

I have mines in the morning too. My guidelines state that I can't drink anything apart from plain water - I would have guessed if its the liquid gaviscon would probably be a no go. Not sure if the tablets have some sort of glucose or sugar etc in them which would probably also be a no.
