heartburn, any remedies? (SAIFW)

I've had hearburn off and on the past few days,but right now it's bad.  Anyone have any good remedies?  Do your doctors say you can take tums during an IVF cycle? Is this a s/e from PIO?  Thanks!

One option is to drink a lot of water. It doesn't stop the heartburn, but it dilutes the acid so it doesn't hurt as much.

calcium usually helps so drink a glass of milk or if you've got some tums or rolaids try that. 

I hope it is a pregnancy symptom

me too, the worms!  Today I don't feel pregnant, I go through days where I'm certain and days that I'm not.  I hate IF!

I have acid reflux disease (aka GERD) and have found that yogurt really helps. It coats your stomach and throat, also try milk....drink a few 8 oz glasses over the course of the day. Also, ice cream helps cool things down and makes you feel better. Stay away from spicy foods, bbq, tomato based sauces, citrus as these will all aggravate your symptoms.

I hope that your heartburn is a good sign!!

I hope the heartburn is a good sign!

I've had an acid reflux/heartburn kind of feeling in the back of my throat off and on for a couple of weeks. So far I haven't taken anything for it but I do think I've heard that tums is ok - I guess ask your nurse just to be sure. I just try to drink lots of water and eat soothing foods.
