Just wondering if you can recommend something to relieve my unbearable heartburn!

You can only eat so many TUMS in a day....they only provide relief for maybe 30 minutes then I find myself eating more. So, before I go asking my OB for a prescription for something stronger...thought I'd check with you on if you knew of any *natural* remedies/supplements that would provide some relief?

Thanks

Forgot to add....I'm definitely not eating anything (at least to my knowledge)...that would aggravate this. In fact, all I can stomach right now is cereal and popsicles and drinking water and occasionally Gatorade. Dixie is just so HUGE that she's pushed all my organs upward I think!

SG, stop eating TUMS, they have aluminum in them!

Look for a product called "Absorb Aid" (may be one word), comes in capsules or powder...get the capsules...butt if you have an attack, open 2 caps in 4 oz of water.....this stuff is incredible...especailly for GERD (gastro-esophogial-reflux)

Now, I'M NOT SAYING TAKE THIS, butt also look into "Blue Cohosh". OK?

(for little Dixie and you, not for heartburn)

Anything wrong with plain Bi Carb????

I find that a tonic of bull semen and gnute testicle is best to take the heartburn away. Of course if it doesn't work I am sure DP's method is probably a suitable replacement.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I knew you would be able to help

I'm assuming I can find all of this at GNC? It's right across the street from me and I'm going to zoom through there on my way to get my son from moms. I didnt know about the TUMS aluminum thing!

What does the Blue Cohosh do? Induce labor?

Just to butt in

and say that most antacids will actually induce more heartburn. Heartburn is caused by a lot of things: overeating, hungar pangs, stress, pregnancy...

If I don't eat every three hours, my stomach starts sending messages to me that I'm due for a feeding; I get heartburn and start burping. It might be unusual, but I like to think of it as an internal alarm clock.

Your not butting in

Very interesting....thanks for sharing that. That totally makes sense. No more TUMS for me....and my heartburn has been much better thanks to that Absorb (thanks again Doc)...and I'm trying to eat something even if its crackers...every few hours now since reading this.

Thanks again for ya'lls help
