Is this reflux?

VashonVashon

The past week or so, I am getting a little bit of a burning feeling in my throat, usually after I eat and it gets worse when I lay down.  TMI, but there isn't any liquid in my throat making it feel this way, it just burns a little when its empty.  I'm thinking its reflux associated with my belly getting bigger and pushing everything up, but just curious what your thoughts were.  Anyone else experience it?  I have been taking Tums to help with it.

    That sounds like acid reflux.  I had it pretty bad (took otc and prescriptions as per dr. recommendations) with almost no success, then tried DGL (licorice root extract) and have been cured!  Since you're pg, you should ask your dr first, but it was like magic for me.  If you do try it, look for the chocolate flavor; it tastes better and the texture is better, too.

    Yep, that's exactly what it sounds like. I had it bad too, I took tums, and the doctor can prescribe you something to take if it gets really bad.

    yes it sounds like reflux, and tums might not help it actually... pepcid is what helped me.

     tums just neutralizes the acid in your stomach, but sometimeds your brain is smart enough to just make more.   the other types actually shut down acid production.  Ask your OB for suggestions.

    SOunds like what I had too.  I'd lever had heartburn or reflux before, but I would get a "hot" throat uncomfortable feeling.  No liquid or anything either.  Tums worked well for me, but I was taking a couple each day.

    Yep sounds like reflux. I had it so bad when I was pregnant. Odd thing I had work was Jolly Ranchers. In the last month of my pregnancy I took a prescription because it got so bad. I hope you find something that helps
