  I'm with you milk is the only thing that helps the reflux! I started drinking strawberry milk everyonce in a while just to mix it up a bit. Also try fruit punch but I water mine down by about half. Good luck

  Are you taking anything for the reflux? Zantac is the only thing that helps me, other than milk. Milk helps, but only for short term, immediate relief.

  Try coconut water. It is a great drink for hydration. You might want to try it first with a fruit flavor added or the like before trying it without. Sometimes I mix half plain coconut water and half apple juice.

  I love almond milk too. Vanilla or chocolate. The vanilla is sweeter than milk and is nice for a change.

  Can't figure out the signature thing, so here's the short, short version.....first daughter born on November 10, 2013. She was conceived through the magic of IVF after 2+ years of TTC.

  Zantac. Then you can drink whatever you want. And water is really good for you. I personally think adults drinking milk (unless it's in a coffee drink or a smoothie) is really gross.

  IVF, acupuncture, meditation and a miracle.

  My MW gave me a suggestion that never occurred to me that has helped a lot.  I was getting really bad reflux-- especially at night, and especially from water.  But I literally haven't taken any medication other than a handful of Tums this pregnancy so I didn't want to start with Zantac with only a few days left.

  
  

  Your stomach makes acid basically anytime you eat or drink something.  With my meals I would drink OJ, milk or sometimes juice/ginger ale/occasional soda and between meals I always drink water.  Drinking lots of water between meals was making my stomach make more acid- and especially around bedtime made me miserable.  Now I try to drink most of my water with or close to a meal, and only drink milk after dinner.  

  
  

  Hope you get some relief!

  Thanks for all the suggestions! I am having a SCS next week, so I was trying to stick it out with Tums, too. And I really love drinking milk, too!!! I was just hoping for a little variety.
