Ladies, what's good for the worst heartburn ever? I have tried OTC remedies like Tums, Pepsid, Prilosec and Zantac. I have asked my doctor for stuff and she gives me a perscription for the equavilant to Zantac. I have tried to not eat spicy, carby or nonbland food...Nothing works! Okay the pills work for the 1st few days but then my body grows acustom to them and I can't take them anymore bc I'm not suppose to take more than 2 a day per the instructions.
Does ANYONE have a good remedey or medication they use that I can talk to my doctor about getting on? I've got 4 weeks and 4 days left and I keep throwing up my food bc of this damned heartburn.

    Milk helps me too and i know this might sound crazy but my father in law swears of u sip on a glass of pickle juice then have a small glass of milk it will go away...and everytime i have heartburn i try it and it works....gotta love home remedies....good luck

    When mine is acting up I have a small bowl of icecream, its soothing ti the pain and usually keeps it away for longer than milk for me... And hey any excuse to eat icecream :-)

    Vinegar. It really really helps! Also if you wanna try a tiny bit of baking soda in some water that helps some people too. Vinegar works great for me when tums and milk, meds don't cut it.

    Don't drink alot of liquids at meal time. This tip greatly helped to reduce my heartburn to almost none. Good luck!!

    I agree with all of the vinegar posts: mustard and pickles. I always eat pickles. Last night I ran out and just chugged the juice. Always works.

    Swallow just a little bit of tooth paste. Make SURE its the paste kind mother gel. The baking soda in it works.
