How to handle indigestion?

Mrs_D_in_KY · October 2009

So the past couple days I have this burning in the back of my throat, I'm sure it's indigestion/heartburn.

I've taken Tums every 4 hours, like OB told me to. I've stayed away from spicy foods and eating a lot at one time. I always make sure I can sit up at least a 1/2 hour after eating.

So what do you ladies recommend? Should I call my OB to see what else I can take?

TIA ladies!! And TGIF!!!

Shoot, Tums do nothing for me. Call and ask if you can take Zantac. I take one Zantac 175 in the morning and at night, it's the only thing that cuts the reflux at all.

I will have to call my OB to see if Zantac is okay, and then stop after work to get some

This is some miserable stuff. Tongue Tied

Boy can I relate. It didn't start with Maggie until late in the second tri, but this pregnancy I've had it right from the beginning. It is miserable. I gave up avoiding anything and just eat what sounds good since everything gave me heartburn.

But the good news is, it goes away the second you give birth.
