Acid Reflux?

Does anyone seem to have acid reflux? I don't really have heartburn but more of the acid coming up into my throat (sorry, I know it's gross).

    I think I do. Sometimes after I eat I get this uncomfortable feeling like I gotta burp but cant and its worse when I lay down and sometimes I almost throw up in my mouth when I do burp. Its a horrible feeling.

    I do. And it's BAD. I get it all the time with everything I eat. Add heartburn to it makes it even worse. I haven't tried anything to stop it. I'm probably going to break down and ask my Dr about it.

    Esma: I'll turn him into a flea. A harmless little flea. Then Ill put that flea in a box. And put that box inside another box. Mail that box to myself. And when it arrives. ILL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER. Its brilliant, brilliant, brilliant I tell you. Genius I say.
    Or to save on postage. Ill poison him with this.

    I have very bad acid reflux. I already had an issue with it before I got pregnant so now it's just horrible.  I spoke to a Dr. in OB Medicine and she told me it was perfectly fine to take lots and lots of Zantac (the 150mg one) She told me to take TWO of the 150mg pills TWICE a day. So I'm taking 600mg a day. I can technically still take more but right now the 600mg gets me through the day/night. Trust me - take the Zantac and you will feel a world of a difference!

    Ask your doctor about Nexium.  I have been taking it for a few months now and have been 100% heartburn/reflux free. 

    It is expensive (even with insurance) but totally worth it in my mind.

    Oh man!  This just started for me this week!  It's not really heartburn but I get the same feeling of acid coming back up and feeling like I want/need to burp but then almost throwing up in my mouth.  Seriously, the other posters' descriptions is EXACTLY what I am feeling.  I had a doctor appointment today and she said Zantac or Pepcid was totally fine.

     The other thing she said was to try not to eat and drink together.  She said try to just eat and then don't drink anything for about 40 mins.  It's a tough habit to get into but she said it should help.  And definitely do NOT lay down after eating!

    This just started for me a couple days ago, and it sucks! I've never felt this before until this pregnancy. I also have the feeling of the burning coming up my throat. I didn't want to take anything for it (i'm trying to stay away from all medications, even the ones the doctors say are safe) but it has become so uncomfortable that I went out and bought some Tums today. I hope it doesn't get any worse!! I was searching online for natural remedies and they listed apple cider vinegar to neutralize the acid
