heartburn

Avatar f tn omg I get heartburn a lot don't knw if I can take them but I just bought some Alka-Seltzer heartburn+gas relief chews, Are they safe for the baby?
Avatar f tn Me too! Alka Seltzer makes a chew that is like a hard shell on the outside, soft chew on the inside and they have worked really well for me. They are like smoothie flavors or something. Regular tums make me wanna yak.
Avatar f tn So i asked the pharmacy and they showed me these new Alka-Seltzer fruit chews that relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach and they help me sooo much!!
8367118 tn?1442605420 Alka seltzer is said to be a no no bc its maker is Bayer. I took alka seltzer fruit chews when my heartburn was absolutely intolerable here and there my whole pregnancy and I delivered my daughter two days ago and every nurse kept telling me she was "healthy as a horse" and "such am angel" and "had no complications at all". So just check the bottle. If it has aspirin avoid it.
Avatar f tn If that does not work, try Pepcid, Gaviscon, Prilosec OTC, Omeprazole, Pepto, Zegerid OTC, Equate Acid Relief or Alka-Seltzer. If you do not want to go to the store, try a quick remedy-- baking soda or cold milk. And also, you can use PregEase. It treats morning sickness and heartburn. It is clinically proven a safe choice with natural ingredients, so you do not have to worry about anything harming the little one.
Avatar f tn D since its saturday, and the nurse read off a long list of doctor approved ant-acids then said basically any OTC ant-acid was fine. Well I grabbed alka seltzer just bc i knew people who said it worked for them. Got home, took one, then realized it said Bayer. So I guess how much of a risk is there to baby, and has anyone used it while pregnant before?
Avatar f tn Hey mommies, does anyone know if it's ok to take alka seltzer? I just have really bad body aches and was wondering if any other mommies know for sure if it's ok to take.

Avatar f tn I started taking tums but I switched to Alka-Seltzer heartburn+gas relief chews and I LOVE them!!!! Instant relief and they are yummy!!! If you don't want to buy anything than I suggest eating small portions and avoid fried food.
Avatar n tn A couple days ago I had really horrible heartburn, I took some alka-seltzer for it and it eventually went away but even after it went away I've had a really bad stomach ache remaining and after anything I eat i feel nauseous and have thrown up a couple times as well. Can anyone tell me what it may be that i have or how i can treat it?
Avatar f tn Tums didnt work so well for me, ive had terrible heartburn pretty much my whole pregnancy. I just bought those new chewable alka seltzer and they are yummy and work really well.
Avatar f tn Can you take alka-seltzer plus early in your pregnancy because I have a really bad cold and I don't want my baby to have any birth defects
Avatar f tn Hi ladies, I'm 36 weeks (37 this sunday) and although I've had heartburn my entire pregnancy, it hasn't been bad and I've been able to control it with alka seltzer relief chews once in a while when it happened...lately it's become horrible!!! My throat feels like it's on fire almost all day long...any suggestions on what to take or what to do? I avoid lying down after meals and if course any irritating foods, but it's constant and nothing helps!!!
Avatar f tn Ladies- Needing your help this is my 3rd pregnancy and I've had horrible heartburn since 3 weeks. I'm now 11 weeks and have been eating tums and alka seltzer like candy.. I also take zantac 150mg 2x a day with no relief. I'm not eating anything spicy and no caffeine. I wake up with heartburn immediately. . Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn I take these great antacid chewables that kind of look and taste like big skittles.. I think the brand name ones are Alka seltzer? I find them at target and wal mart in the store brands.. they work well and aren't chalky like tums tend to be.
5627474 tn?1374148775 Alka-seltzer!!!! Took about an hour but it worked. My dr already has me on asprin so I skipped my normal asprin cause alka-seltzer contains asprin. Thank god! I didn't want to deal with nasty burps all day.
5787844 tn?1376078984 m taking prevacid in the morning and then zantac 150 2x a day and still eat the smoothie tums and alka seltzer. My ob said next appt if no better she will prescribe me something. I go back the 26th and am seriously counting down the days so I feel ya. I wake up with it when I haven't ate or drank all night. Good luck.
603726 tn?1223919660 I bought both of those in bulk, popped benadryl like penny candy and brought 3 packets of alka-seltzer wtith me to work EVERY DAY..I worked 8-9 hrs/day...my co-workers and boss were concerned with me...I didn't think anything of it at the time..niot much of an answer ,sorry, I really don't know if I was "addicted" to them or not...
7789909 tn?1400724694 Alka seltzer fruity chewables help me. I got them at Wal-Mart :) Plus I try to stay away from fast food, fried food and drink more water. And try not to eat spicy foods or anything before you go to bed.
Avatar f tn What works for me is a nice cold glass of milk. I prefer it to medication but I take alka seltzer chews if milk doesn't help. Regular alka seltzer is a no no but the chews are ok.
Avatar f tn t remember any alka seltzer being on it. I think some or all alka seltzer also have aspirin which would be a big no. For sleep benadryl helps and it is safe. At least wait to see if some other mommies here know for sure or have alternative options they can share with you.
Avatar n tn It's also possible you are having gas pains, which alka seltzer might help relieve that, but ask your obstetrician if it's safe for you to still take that right now. When I was a girl, and we'd eat a big dinner after church with the family, I'd gas up big-time and it hurt real bad, because my stomach wasn't used to having so much food that early in the day. My grandmother said she had the same thing when she was young and told me about the alka seltzer.
Avatar n tn Nd ilk of magnesia is for constipation.
Avatar f tn Yes. Medicine in your system is like an alka seltzer tablet... lots of bubbles first and less at the end. Extended release versions try to even the bubbles for the referenced time. At the end of the referenced time the amount of medicine has waned enough that if the next dose is late you will not be maintaining a consistent level in your system. This is not only hard on a body, but effects the quality of treatment.
Avatar n tn I got thru my senior year of high school by taking antacids like Alka-Seltzer, which seemed to work and tubs but only for a short time. It at least got me through high school. I still suffer from this problem, and I have seen a Gastroentrologist but all she suggest was to take dietary supplements and try eliminating certain foods from my diet and to try to have more fiber. I even tried every antacid and dietery supplement known to man and still nothing has fixed the problem.
Avatar n tn He also told me that he had taken an alka seltzer close to when he had taken his medication. He says that the aspirin in the alka seltzer caused him to have the seizure because it doesn't go well with his medication. I'm just wondering if the video games are causing him to have seizures, or if it was the alka seltzer that caused it?
Avatar f tn I used candied ginger, ginger tea, and those chewable Alka seltzer things! I ate a spoonful of ice cream or had a yogurt in the middle of the night if I got sick. And broth and noodles was my go to lunch! I had TERRIBLE morning sickness. I'm on week 31 and it came back too, not anywhere near as bad, but I definitely have worse heartburn. Second trimester was a breeze though, not a single day of sickness.
