What to take for heartburn/indigestion?

Mrs. Alice

I've been pretty miserable the last few days because it seems like whatever I eat causes heartburn and indigestion.  TUMs are not working.  OB list says I can also take Mylanta, Zantac, or Pepcid.  Any recommendations?

Maalox is also safe and the mint flavor works wonders for me.  Something about the taste is soothing and it works fast.

Tums aren't working for me at the moment either, I think I may need something more liquid-y like Maalox. Mint in general sits well with me right now, especially to combat nausea.

I had wicked heartburn with my son... Pepcid Complete saved my life.

I took Zantac when my heartburn became tums-resistant with DS, I think i was able to find a giant bottle at SAMs club.

and, as it turns out, if zantac or pepcid don't work, talk to your doctor but my midwife suggested prilosec, which has worked for me in the past and seems to be helping now...
