Thank you to whoever suggested drinking Coke...

Someone on here suggested drinking coke for heartburn/acid reflux. I've been living on tums lately and just had a small cup to see if that helped and genius- so much better!

Ugh, soda gives me nasty heartburn! Weird that it helps you.

I've been one of the ones that suggested it on here in the past--one of my co-workers told me to try it and I was SHOCKED that it worked.

I'm glad it worked to you too!

Thanks for this! The only thing that's helped my heartburn is milk and sometimes I just want something else. I'll definitely try coke now.

If you don't want the caffeine, Sprite works too.

My doc also suggested drinking a real coke if I get a real bad headache.

For me, only regular Coca-Cola (not diet, not Cherry, not Pepsi) works...lol!

Oh that is awesome that it works for some people, it makes it worse for me Sad

And I love Coke and have had to avoid it mostly during my pregnancy. Which is probably a good thing, (less caffeine and sugar) but I miss it!!

Interesting. For me Dr. Pepper or Sprite is best lol. But I don't like coke and I had acid reflux prior to baby.

that's funny cause I usually abhor regular sodas (I was a one diet mtn dew in a can a day girl pre-pregnancy). But, lately, all I want is Pepsi and Coke and it really really helps settle my stomach.

Crazy how pregnancy changes everything, even soda consumption!! Smile I am so hoping the heartburn goes away after baby comes out!

Yup, soda works for me heartburn-wise, while milk sometimes makes it worse, oddly. Soda also worked well for me when I was suffering from morning sickness in first trimester, but then I stuck to Sprite or something else caffeine-free.

whitward87 · December 2009

Totally opposite for me. Hopefully it doesn't creep back up tonight when you are snoozing. That's the worst time for me.

grapeape73 · December 2009

I have never had heart burn in my life, but I swear with this pregnancy the I saw the second line on the pg test and boom heart burn.

My OB actually told me about Coke. He also wanted me to drink one a day to help keep the migrains away. For me ice cream is about the only thing that works every time. Even just a spoon of it helps.
