alka seltzer?

I have read the alka seltzer for upset stomach is not good cause it contains aspirin. Has anyone ever asked their doc about this? Also they do make it without aspirin so wondering if anyone knows if that is safe? I am having a lot of indigestion and it has always worked wonders for me. Tums do nothing for me. I am just sooo miserable!!!

    Try baking soda dissolved in water. It's the best thing for heartburn/indigestion. I TBS per cup and chug it

    This is what I do even when I wasn't pregnant (to avoid the unnecessary aspirin) but I do more like a tsp and I sip it.  It works super efficiently!

    I have found that drinking something carbonated helps too. (Which I think is why alka seltzer works.)
