Tums
i use tums, rolaids, or get a perscription from the doctor
If you might have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), try the prescription medication Zelnorm.

Hi there! A product that is great for reflux is swedish bitters. You can get this at the health food store.Tastes AWFUL, but if you have some before you eat something it usually calms the acid and prevents reflux. Also try to stay away from spicy foods and foods like potatoes and breads. The stomach produces more acid to break these foods down hence more reflux!
Zantac 150, Rolaids, Pepcid complete, or get a prescription for Prevacid. That is what finally eased mine.
i know the feeling i am 26 weeks and get severe heartburn night and day. reason is your baby is taking up all the space and squishing your stomache and pushing acids into your throat. put an ice pack on your upper bell to get the baby to move down, just got told that by my midwife and it works!!! if your not that far along, then drink milk with your food and try tums. tums and Rolaids and all the other remedies havent worked for me at all. only the ice pack has.
welcome to motherhood and congrats!
