Stomach acid

Hi everyone, I'm almost 12 weeks pregnant and since Friday I've had stomach ache and bloating. At first I thought trapped wind but it hadn't eased yesterday evening, so I saw an out of hrs doctor who said it was excess stomach acid and advised I take Gaviscon. I've tried this, Rennie, boiled hot water, peppermint tea, hot water bottle and various yoga exercises but nothing is helping. Has anyone experienced this and have any tips? Thanks

Go to your go and ask for ranitidine. It was the only thing that worked for me.

@JohnLapsleyParlabane thank you, I'm going to ring first thing. It's so painful it's driving me mad now
