Heartburn advice

Heart burn has started three days ago. I’m trying to avoid triggers but any advice on how to treat it without taking rennies or gaviscon?

I had love hearts sweets x

Not sure if you’re opposed to medication considering you don’t wanna take rennies and whatnot but omeprazole from the GP is a game changer. Legit stopped it completely for me x

Sipping on milk is supposed to help however I don't like plain milk so I had chocolate milkshakes with a straw to slowly sip on and it helped me so much, also told my cousin and this helped her alot too

Another vote for omeprazole. In the UK you can get it off the shelf in a pharmacy with no prescription if you want to give it a go first? Worked almost immediately for me - I couldn’t keep rennies or gaviscon down when I was pregnant.

Love heart sweets brilliant

Milk definitely helped me and bananas too

@Skye i absolutely have to agree with skye its fantastic and helped me out while pregnant and I'm still on it.

@Jade was the only thing that made a difference to me at all! Gaviscon is nastayyy too 😂

Magnesium, I get mine in with LMNT electrolytes (helps those leg cramps and restless legs too if that's a problem) and papaya enzymes ❤️

Omeprazole! You can get it through your doctor or over-the-counter as well!!

Another vote for omeprazole 🙋🏻‍♀️ also sleeping with your upper body slightly elevated can help I’ve heard

I was prescribed lansoperazole (basically the same as omeprazole). Absolute game changer and life saver for me!

Try and have your biggest meal of the day at lunchtime and a snack before bed. Glass of milk and avoid fatty foods. Gaviscon is completely safe in pregnancy

@Skye absolutely i even tried rennies and omg yuck made me feel so sick. Wasn't until I was 8months pregnant that my drs at the hospital actually gave me omeprazole and I felt bloody amazing after that.

@Jade it’s unreal the difference it makes!! I can stomach rennies if I have no choice but gaviscon was vile 😂
