  • heartburn (0 / 0)

    I got that once and was a drama queen like i was dying. I HATE it. My DH, who has gastro-whatever issues, laughed his ass off at my melodrama.

    • You got it (0 / 0)

      ONCE!  It was the bane of my existence during every pregnancy.  In fact, when I was on the delivery table giving birth to twins, I didn't want drugs for labor pain, I was asking for rolaids or tums.  Labor pain...not so bad.  Heart burn?  Ugh.

      • Tums and Pepcid (0 / 0)

        are what my OB recommended to me. So I'd take pepcid at night otherwise I'd wake up at 2AM with raging heartburn. And tums during the day if I was plagued with an attack. I did notice that sometimes I would start to feel like heartburn was coming on and as long as I ate something (a banana, yogurt, crackers, anything...) it would usually pass. Not always, but it often helped.

        • Crackers. Lots and lots (0 / 0)

          of crackers.  And certainly, not getting too empty.

          Back 24 years ago, my doctor recommended an antacid called "Gavascon".  Can't remember why he thought it preferable...there was a reason, though.  Ofcourse, that was in the days before products like Pepcid were sold over the counter.  Did work...seemed like it offered relief for a longer period than Tums or Rolaids.
