    Prilosec doesn't offer fast relief
    i  know, i shoved down 50000 tums which usually helps until it kicks in, but not this time.

    If mine is horrible I have been cleared to take a second Prilosec, maybe try that if you are comfortable doing so?

    hmmmm, maybe i will call and ask about this

    I take the zantac and now just started about 3 days ago with the gaviscon when i feel it coming up.  It def helps, lasts longer than tums so ive been taking before bed.  I wake up now around 5am and take a couple of tums but thats it.  I was popping them every two hours overnight.

    Take a shot of apple cider vinegar, chug some milk, eat some bread. I take 2 zantac every day and max out on Tums. I still burp up stomach acid.

    I take Pepcid and it has helped me way more than tums or anything else. I took it before getting pregnant as well since I have really bad reflux and it helped then too. I usually will take it before bed and with a glass of milk.

    Alka seltzer tabs or baking soda water saves my life sometimes, I swear. The lemon heartburn alka seltzer isn't too bad, baking soda water ya just gotta plug the nose and chug.

    May be worth a try until you can get something stronger. Acid reflux sucks!

    I hear you and sleeping upright is a key for me. Doesn't totally work but does somewhat.

    That's how I feel every night! I dread getting in bed because that's when it really kicks in :(

    I do 150 mg Zantac in the morning, a Prilosec 30 minutes before dinner, food activates it, then another 150 mg Zantac before bed. And Tums when needed, usually max 2 / day. Horrible feeling, especially because you are due at the end of the month. Good luck hope it gets bare able

    I'm taking Nexium and it has been wonderful. I had been having horrible reflux and these putrid acid burps that were followed with vomit.

    I don't taste the acid during the day but I wake up choking on it in the middle of the night! I eat to cover up the taste and then bring out my 9" wedge pillow! I also can vomit up acid and it happens several times a week! I need to up my PPI dose!
    Just an FYI Tums can actually lead to more acid in the tummy! I don't know why, but my gastroenterologist told me to avoid taking as much as possible because it just feeds the problem. I was told this pre-pregnancy though!

    Milk helped tremendously for my heartburn and reflux! I'm normally lactose intolerant but for the month I had reflux, I wasn't. Amazing how your body adjusts to what it needs!

    Our child birth class teacher recommended apple cider vinegar too. I never tried it; I feared throwing it back up.
