Can I have Gaviscon?? PLEASE say yes!!

[RGPargy]

I've read the bottle and it doesn't say "dont take if you're up the duff" or anything but thought i'd check here first.

I did a brief google and even a search on here but the posts i found were a couple of years old and they may have changed their ingredients or summat by now.

Is it safe?

I drank GALLONS straight from the bottle couldn't have coped other wise

rgpargy its these bloody 6 weeks holidays,,,,

making me cuckoo

bed triggers mine, guarenteed as soon as my head hits the pillow it starts the other night i was up till 4 cuz it was burning that much i could hardly breath and i had to keep spitting in the sink cuz of the rapidly increasing saliva eeww

Another Gaviscon swigger here when I was pg with both my boys!! Oh and guess what, they are both hairy and active

Ended up being prescribed ranatadine towards the end of prg number 2 as the heart burn was so bad Gaviscon didn't touch it!

Hmmm well perhaps you lot had it really bad! I cant say it's a regular occurance, just every now and then. But when i do get it, it's effin' annoying and uncomfortable!!

Thought i should tell you all to avoid the peppermint flavour Gavi. It's HORRIBLE!!! I knew i should have stuck to aniseed!!

Absolutely, yes take it!!! I get regular prescriptions for massive bottles of it (or sometimes they give me Peptac which is exactly the same). I also buy bottles from the shops in between. I had this with my last pg as well as this one and nothing else seems to help!!!

PLP xxx

you can definitely take it but have stuck to rennie myself afer a particularly messy projecter vomiting incident in the kitchen.. definitely stay away from peppermint

yes i had some given to my while i was due to have baby

i always had rennies

I drank gallons of it while pregnant too and then just as dd was arriving into the world a nurse broke a huge bottle of Gaviscon just outside the delivery suite and the aroma of Gaviscon floated into the room. I thought I was hallucinating and that the poor baby smelt like it because I had drank so much of it LOL

hahahaha @ mumtodd!!

hell yes. i go through one large bottle of gaviscon a week. would not know what to do with out it. milk helps to but take the gaviscon pepermint liquid x

i normally take rennie tablets but i think i have got addicted to rhem now they dont seem to work as much as gav.maybe i will have to go back to that.i hate having heartburn in the middle of the nite when your having a really good sleep it really is annoying.
