Heartburn from Hell!

starting to have the worst heartburn in the world! I found that slushies help stop the pain temporarily. What helps you with your heartburn?

    If it's as bad as mine...my OB gave me a prescription for Zantac...it helps! You can use Pepcid too

    Apple cider vinegar shot, sounds and tastes horrible, works almost immediately for me every single time.

    I have heartburn really badly too, I even wake up in the middle of the night with it. I use tums, helps but I don't like that floury taste in my mouth so I usually suffer until it goes away by itself.

    For medicine I use tums, and also have one right before bed because I was getting heartburn every time I rotated to fend off hip pain. I snack on sour dough pretzels to soak up the acids, there's my theory anyway. It helps me.

    My Dr gave me an rx for prevacid which I think you can also get over the counter. Zantac quit working for me after a while. I can use Tums if needed, but as long as I take the prevacid an hour before dinner, 95% of the time I'm good. I noticed an effect immediately, but it still took a few days to kick fully kick in. Before this, I had heartburn so bad I was throwing up at 2 am

    My doctor recommended Prevacid OTC and it works wonders!

    Apple Cider Vinegar makes mine worse, as does ginger, which was suggested to me as a natural remedy. I take Zantac and tums. I also don't eat past 6:00 pm or I wake up with reflux. Water gives me horrible heartburn, so I drink decaf sun tea.

    I recently started trying a pinch of dissolved baking soda in water. Just have to be careful don't do too much and make sure it's dissolved. I think the side of the box says 1/2 a teaspoon but a pinch (or 1/8) works just fine also. It's been amazing for me since the tums seem to have stopped working.

    I agree with several posts above! Dill pickles or just the juice. Apple cider vinegar. Baking soda and water. Although a small amount of water because sometimes water can make it worse!

    Milk everything and tums is what I'm living off of.

    ETA: I've also been using DH's airplane pillow to prop my head up a little as I get the acid reflux in the middle of the night. That helps too.

    Tums and apple cider vinegar. My heartburn has just started to kick in this pregnancy, (I am 28 weeks 1 day). Last time it was so bad by now I had to literally sleep with my upper body propped up on like 8 pillows to get any nightime relief! Suck! hopefully some of these suggestions help mama:)

    Thanks everyone for these suggestions! I'm suffering from this as well. It's been keeping me up at night, every time I change position that heartburn and acid reflux burns the shiz out of my throat...it's awful. Heading to the store to get apple cider vinegar! Thanks again!

    A couple weeks ago I was waking up choking in the middle of the night due to acid reflux.  At the height of that, avoiding bending over, using a wedge pillow, and taking the max allowed Tums helped a lot.  I'm still sleeping on a wedge pillow and taking 1-2 Tums before bed.
