Heartburn help!

[samanthax2]

Hello im 8 weeks now and im having terrible heartburn nothing is settling it milk yogurt i have omeprazole for acid reflux but i have stopped taking it since i found out i was pregnant i dont want to go to the hospital and feel like im wasteing anyones time but im unsure of what to take for heartburn or if i can take omeprazole many thanks sam

Gaviscon. Straight out the bottle. Have to have it on me all the time!

Gav is fine

Omeprazole is fine but is recommended only if gaviscon hasn't worked. I'm now 39 weeks and nothing fucking works any more

Try Rantadine honestly as someone who suffered terrible ulcer causing acid its a life saver!

Not eating wheat stopped my very bad heartburn.

another for rantadine amazing stuff!

Mine was so bad Gaviscon didn't touch it. But being wheat free solved it

I would see a GP but I went with awful reflux at about 16 weeks, after suffering for a few weeks and the doctor prescribed me omeprazole so I'm hoping it's not a problem in pregnancy. It stopped the heartburn almost immediately and over the next few days cleared up a few other reflux related issues I had as well.

A good stick of ice lollies

Omaprazole is fine to take in pregnancy. I've had heartburn since week 7 and it's awful. Gaviscon was not helping as it simply came back an hour later. It's not good to let yourself have long term heartburn, you can damage your oesophagus. Check with your GP if you want reassurance, but I couldn't have got through without my Omaprazole

thank you for your replys just spoke to the doctor on the phone no other heartburn stuff works for me it just returns pritty much straight after but thanks for all the advice much appreciated

Gaviscon straight from the bottle! Buy a big and little bottles. Top up the little one with the big one and keep one by your bed and take one in for work. I was teaching nursery last time round and the children got used to me needing my "mixture" as they called it.
Avoid dairy/fats etc.

Watch out for it continuing after pregnancy -turned out I had gall stones! Second pregnancy (and after gall bladder removal) and I've had nothing more than a little indigestion.
