Really bad Heartburn

[KarenLV]

I have been getting really bad heartburn! It is so painful it feels as if my throat is becoming raw. I used to take Gaviscon as my doctor said it is safe to use,however Gaviscon makes you retain water as it contains high levels of sodium. I have read that a natural cure for heartburn is one tablespoon of white vinegar. I took it last night and it actually work faster and better than the Gaviscon! The problem was I drank white chilli vinegar! It burned my throat like hell before it solved the problem.Next time I should read the label instead of gulping it down. Am I the only one struggling with heartburn and do you girls also know of some natural remedies?

I used to work in a pub and if a customer had heartburn we used to give them some peppermint cordial jus a tiny sip... not sure if it works on everyone and of course im clueless to say if its safe or not to baby!!

Love Teri

awwww i know it hurts like hell but it will be gone in a day or two when you give birth

I have it and HATE it. I have to take 2 Tums before getting into bed, but sometimes they don't work.

I take Tums as well, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I just heard that you need calcium when you have heart burn. Have you tried Tums yet? They are safe for baby.

I get bad heartburn sometimes and i take gaviscon....What are Tums? just curious.

tums are tablets you can get from the pharmacy in the uk. they are multi coloured and chalky x

I get it in the evening too. It always seems at its worst as soon as i get into bed.

Mine's always worst when I lay down too, I've been using Rolaids which do help some.

I've found the best remedy for hartburn is a nice cold glass of milk.. at least it doesn't taste half as bad as the heartburn tablets you can buy. I had a gaviscon yesterday... how revolting ... i'm a whimp lol
