I actually posted this below too. But for me prilosec is the only thing that works. You take it everyday regardless of symptoms!

I found that it didn't matter what I ate it always happened!

HTHs!

Mine too... soooo horrible. DH went to get skim milk at 1am last night and that helped. I'm trying Maalox tonight to see if that helps and if not, I think my doc might prescribe something....

Definitely call your doc... they might prescribe

I take Zantac twice a day (once in teh morning and once before dinner) with tums if I need some immediate relief.

I have been on EVERYTHING and it's still not going away.  Most recently doc prescribed me something, but after a month, it stopped working and it was barely any relief even in that month.  I would just say eat HOURS before you go to bed and good luck.  It sucks

Zantac 150, it has been my savior since 18 weeks.

Try milk or ice cream. Also, I've heard you shouldn't drink anything when you're eating.

If all of those things aren't helping, maybe it isn't hearburn. I'm not sure what else it could be, but just throwing out the possibility.

Zantac 150 is my BFF!  I have to take it twice a day or I feel horrible, and I've learned sitting up straight and sleeping solely on my left side has helped tremendously!

Prilosec!!! It is a miracle, I had such bad heartburn that it made me throw up. I take one prilosec a day and I feel great, completely gone.
