Antacid Recommendation Please

raealbrightraealbright member
in 1st Trimester
I am having really bad m/s that is now being combined with bad indigestion... not helping!  The doctor said I can take Maylox, Mylanta, or Tums.  I have never taken any of these as I always take Pepto.  Any recommendations.  I really don't do well with chalky chewables if that helps.  Gotta run to the store on the way home from work and this would just be a shot in the dark for me so I figured I would ask for some help!

    You should ask your doctor about Zantac, it's safe during pregnancy and much more effective than chewable antacids.  My doctor ok'd me to take it morning and night.

    I would get all three and do a trial and error

    If none of those work then ask your dr about something else (while most of the time zantac/other antacids are safe during pregnancy, some can decrease fluid, and others are safer later in pregnancy than in the 1st tri.)

    Tums Smoothies are ok.  I'd ask about zantac.
