I've had heart burn my whole pregnancy but its only getting worse. I'm 13 weeks with twins and tums isnt even taking the edge off anymore. Any mom's with a remedy?
My sister, who is a midwife, told me that papaya enzyme tablets are really helpful. She also said that sometimes we get heartburn because there isn't enough acid in our system (weird huh?!) She said putting a tablespoon of cider vinegar in a glass of water and drink can help as well. She also told me to be careful that I don't take too many Tums because you can end up getting too much calcium. I have used the papaya with good results, but I haven't tried the vinegar. I hope you feel better!
I bought a soda stream and keep a bottle of plain soda water with me all the time. I find the taste of tums nauseating. In aus we have lollies called fruit tingles that are AMAZING for heartburn/ indigestion and don't leave that chalky gross taste in your mouth.
