acid reflux

edited May 2011 in Pregnant
Im 13 weeks along and having extreme acid reflux to the point that its affecting my daily life and work. Im taking Zantac, Tums and Maalox daily but nothing helps. I eat small meals and sleep propped up on 3 pillows. Anyone else experiencing tge same, severe acud relux. I feel lile Im having acid poured down my throat at all times. Anyone else take other meds such as Prevacid, Protonix?

  • I'm the exact same way. Sometimes I even sleep sitting up because its so bad. I was taking prevacid but some nights it just agitated it more. I don't know what else will help it, but I really hope it gets better.
  • My Dr. Ok'd me to take prevacid. It helps tremendously.
  • Yes I do and I'm now 32 weeks ive had it the entire time so miserable! I mix and match tums pepcid and zantac haha sometimes it helps sometimes not...i try to figure out what foods make it worse (everything! Lol) but juice kills me! I try to only drink water and milk, cherry italian ice can sometimes help just stay away from the lemon! Goodluck!
  • Thanks guys. Little upset with my doc, when I called to see what else I could take they basically said go see a gastroenrerologist. Whats the point whwn I cant have any tests done and most meda that would help we cant take. A little frustrating....
