So, all of a sudden I have acid reflux. It's totally random and I've never had an issue before, but I have been miserable this past week. I saw my gastro today and he is doing an endoscopy next Tuesday just to check things out. He also prescribed me Aciphex, which is in the same family as Prilosec. He gave me the Aciphex because he knows I'm going to be trying to get pregnant and he claims it is safe to use during pregnancy if I need to stay on it.
I was just wondering if anyone takes or has taken any meds for acid reflux when you were pregnant or TTC. Thanks!

I started having it when I was about 6 months pregnant with Owen. I took a prescription for the rest of the time. I can't think of the name of it. I've already started taking Prilosec with this pregnancy and will be asking for a prescription today at my OB visit. I took Aciphex years ago for an ulcer I got from some pain killers and it was great. I hope it helps you!
I had it (along with hyperemesis). I took Zantac 150 up to twice per day and slept on a wedge pillow. It sucked
I have a friend whose gastro told him to take a TBSP of apple cider vinegar (Bragg Organic) to help with his heartburn and it helped him better than any of the prescription meds he tried.
