I've been using tums. My midwife suggested papaya capsules or even getting a papaya fruit today for it so I just picked up a papaya today and will try it tonight
Curious about the papaya! Let us know how it works out for you
I did buy a papaya fruit and chopped it up and put it in the refrigerator. It actually has worked well for me! I've heard some say it helps them and say it doesn't but I just have to eat a few cubes and no reflux for me! As far as taste, it isn't bad but I might try capsules when this is gone night time is when heartburn usually hits me so I eat some before bed and don't have any issues with it all night! So I'd say it's worth a shot at least! I prefer it over tums a papaya was really really cheap here so not much loss if it wasn't going to work anyway
Nice! I'll look for one when I grocery shop today. I've been having more and more trouble, and I swear it's taking longer and longer for my Tums/Zantac method to kick in. The Tums start working... then the reflux comes back.... then the Zantac finally kicks in. I feel like I've been adding in the milkshake more and more lately, which really does help, but I can't have a milkshake daily! I'm really trying to watch what I eat this time around so that I don't have a ton of weight to lose postpartum! Thanks
