What are you taking for Heartburn?

LovieBear

I just picked up some Pepcid AC, dr. said it was okay. Its the 24 hour one.
What do you take that works well?

Tums and Pepcid AC for me. My doc said anything more than that will have to be prescription. My heartburn has been terrible for the past 8 weeks .

I have heartburn really bad, I get it from drinking water which I'm not even sure how that is possible. I had it with my DS and this time it started much earlier.  Someone told me about apple cider vinegar and I have to say it really works. It's like razor blades going down but I feel it works better than tums or Zantac.  Zantac works if you take as directed, 30 min prior to eating.  Tums aren't working.  I take about 1tsp-1tbsp.  Out of everything I've tried this is the best

A glass of milk is the only thing that works for me.

Pepcid works best for me, especially if I take it right after eating something I know will make it worse!

Apple cider vinegar (Braggs-The Mother brand is the best) it aids in digestion and helps with heartburn and it is really good for you too.

Mix hot water with 2 tsp ACV and honey to sweeten!-yum Great evening drink

HEARTBURN-MY #1 ENEMY:

 HERE IS WHAT TO DO: Take Pepcid over the counter or you can get it Rx and it's a little cheper. Take one in the am and one before you go to bed. Take a few tums during the day when needed. Keep Mylanta or Maalox (liquid) handy at all times (even on night stand). Every time you feel the acid come up-take a swig of it. This really helps. Also, a suggestion-if it's really bad at night and keeps waking you up-put a brick under the bed post at the head board. Stacking pillows to elevate you doesnt last long--you eventually slide back down.

I take Costco's Kirkland brand acid reducer, it works better than pepcid IMO.  It's cheaper too

 

I also second the ACV suggestion, love that stuff!  I've been out for a while and I need to get more, it helps everything
