  • Milk always help mine!
  • I had the same problem. I was told to drink a glass of milk and it actually helped.

    @Newmommy_NavyWife @newmomma15 I hate milk but ill give it a try.. ill try anything if it might go away
  • I has it so bad one night I was in tears. I ate bread, a banana, and vanilla ice cream and felt so much better. Note sure if the food was the reason. But I do know that zantac is perfectly safe. My doctor told me I can take it twice a day so I've been doing that now and haven't had heartburn again.
  • What about soda and burp a lot.that's what my mom did and she had it bad!
  • @mollybygolly if the milk advice doesnt work ill try zantac then, i wanted to keep it as natural as possible.. but the heartburn just has me in tears most of the times
  • I take Prilosec if it gets bad...but normally every night before bed I have a glass of milk.

  • The only thing that helped me was carbonated water (Perrier). I had them stocked! :)
  • Tums is full of Calcium. I take one or two and within 2 minutes, I feel much better. I do have Zantac in my glovebox for emergencies though.
  • Milk, tums, cola, and not laying down right after a meal helped me a bit. In the end, I needed a prescription.
  • :o I guess milk it is :D -pinches nose-
  • try some TUMS, MYLANTA, and avoid things that causes acid reflux: TEAS, SODAS, Tomatoes, even the pasta sauce, and OJ , onions, and spicy foods!. Just some of the few items that may be in ur diet. hope that helps.
  • It does help if you burp though.

  • ladies thanks for the advices :D Ill try the milk and if it doesnt work ill go down the list .. i need to get rid of this heartburn
  • Good luck....yah I refuse any medicine (except preparation h when I had a hemmorhoid flare up)

    But milk and sitting upright helps me. And try drinking a glass of milk or eating a banana prior to eating bc it coats your tummy.
