Maybe talk to your doctor about having tablets instead. I was told there are some that are safe in pregnancy but they can have more side effects (for you not for the baby).

I was prescribed Ranitidine (it's also known as Zantac in America, i am in Scotland) from my doc to help with my acid reflux, did a lot of research before taking it and it is fine (not that I didn't trust the doc lol!) it works wonders and really made my pregnancy easier

give Tums a go, they a fruit flavoured, so hopefully shouldn't make you sick.

Edit: just read that it makes you sick! I second the tablet kind then, although they're horrible too.

Reflux is so horrible. I take Omeprazole for gastritis as one of the symptoms is reflux and it really helps me. It's a prescription medication so if you find that gaviscon/tums don't help much, I would speak to my GP and see what they suggest.

For my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies i took rennies a chewable tablet you can pick up from the grocery store. But theres also stronger tablets you can take with water that the Dr can prescribe you.
