Horrible heartburn makes me scared to eat

So I know someone posted recently about heartburn remedies... and I'm already taking Pepcid AC twice a day and Tums for "breakthrough" heartburn but I still seem to get Heartburn every time I eat, and it doesn't matter what I eat.  I thought that maybe only foods that were acidic or spicy would give me heartburn, but today for breakfast I had yogurt and that gave me heartburn.  I thought dairy was supposed to calm down heartburn and stomach acid...? 

Does anyone else have other suggestions aside from Pepcid & Tums?  I put in a call to my doctor and am waiting for her to call me back.  This is just miserable... I'm afraid to eat because I know that I'll have painful and unpleasant heartburn after every meal.

    I have alot of heartburn/acid issues with my stomach normally. I didn't know this before, but dairy can cause excess acid and contribute to the problem. Especially full fat dairy. I know that I can't eat regular yogurt or drink whole milk day after day. I can only eat fat free yogurt every couple of days. Dairy is actually one of the foods that bothers me the most. When my stomach is bad I try to stick to bland starchy foods for a couple days and it seems to help. Lettuce is another HUGE trigger food for me. I've learned the hard way this week that pregnancy is not masking my normal issues with food and that even though I crave salads and milk everyday I just can't do it without paying the price! Good Luck!!
