Anyone know what you can take for heartburn?
Peppermint tea, milk - just making it worse. It lasts for an hour or so, and is killing me. |

| yes,both milk and peppermint tea will make your heartburn worse.When I had heartburn during my pregnancy,I used to slowly nibble on dry salted crackers and water biscuits.That and chewing Tums antacid helped a lot,I also cut out caffeine and fizzy drinks and ate smaller meals.They recommend sleeping propped up on pillows but it never worked for me,I couldn't get comfortable sleeping like that. |

GAVISCON! drank it by the bottle full both times! you can't really overdose on the stuff and it does work tho it tastes vile!
yup the pillow thing can help but i also found it hard to sleep like that. water can be good, and avoiding certain foods. this last time i had a huge thing for olives but they gave me rotton heart burn!  |
