heartburn vs acid indigestion

//www.webmd.

I have bad acid reflux this pregnancy and was told tums can make it worse and if it's really bad milk won't work. The only time I take tums or milk is if I have slight indigestion or heartburn, but if it's bad, it will keep producing acid in your body and make you feel worse.

I get it every night when I lay down.it Burns so bad where I feel like I'm gunna throw up. I'm pretty sure its acid reflex.

Hello I have been having really bad heartburn and indigestion before bed and it's causing me not to be able to sleep. I've noticed peanut butter is a very bad cause and have stopped eating it as much as I was and not before bee. I've tried drinking water and milk as well before sleeping but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?

Yep it sure is heartburn/indigestion & I've got it lol never had it this bad with my last 3 but they say when baby engages & if drink milk it helps. Don't know I've heard that means baby will have lots of hair!

when my heartburn strikes i usually flush with a LOT of water and try to eat something (basic) to absorb/neutralize the acid amounts.

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!!

Ah yes, heartburn. I also had never really had it until pregnancy. Fortunately, it seemed to go away for me after first trimester. The only thing that made any difference for me was staying away from anything spicy and sticking to a fairly bland diet (sounds like your already doing that). Remember that many of your symptoms (and yep, this is one) are caused by hormonal changes then anything else, so you may find that you do need to take something like tums. I also found dairy helped a bit.

I'm 38w2d, and I def do! I've just learned to eat like nothing dif, just stay around the same things I usually eat that won't give me heartburn, indegestion, or acid reflux! The acid is the worst!! I've given up on my favorite foods... lol.. not much longer for us though and it won't happen..

Never had an issue with heartburn or acid reflux until I had my gallbladder removed as well. The worst was when I ate a peanut butter and banana sandwich for lunch, Had chest pain and everything up to my throat felt hot.

This is my third pregnancy and I have never had a heartburn/indigestion problem till this time. Mine started in my second trimester and I tried tums to start but it didn't help a darn thing, I killed a bottle in a week or two. They put me on prevacid which worked really well till insurance decided I could only have 90 pills in 365 days :/ they then told me to try prevacid and pepcid but they did not work very well at all.

I am having twins so started with heartburn and indigestion many weeks ago. I take Zantac 150mg morning and night and my dr gave me a script for protonics. And yet, I still take tums at night time to sleep. I have to really watch my diet and not eat anywhere from 3-4 he prior to bedtime ( which ***** cause I always go to hungry). I placed pillows under the head of my mattress between the mattress and box springs and that part does help. But I have yet to find 100% relief.

I am 21 weeks and have day in and day out the worst heartburn/acid indigestion ever. Nothing seems to be working and my doctor told me to take liquid mylanta or maylox. I went looking for both of them and couldn't find either. When I came home and googled them it seems that they have been taken off the market. Is there anything else that is safe to take....anything that will give me any relief at all???

Over-the-counter cimetidine is used to prevent and treat symptoms of heartburn associated with acid indigestion and sour stomach. Cimetidine is in a class of medications called H2 blockers. It decreases the amount of acid made in the stomach.

Remember it can be from baby pushing your stomach acid up . Everything is out of wack heartburn and indigestion is one very common symptom of pregnancy . I had it bad .

I was bloated on and off since my BFP! And I get really bad heartburn/indigestion...usually after a few good burps (LOL), it's a little better! Tums are my lifesaver for the acid reflux, though!

It could b heartburn. I had the same thing and i called my doc n they said heartburn/acid indigestion. Try tums.....they helped me.

1st of all..is heartburn and acid reflux the same thing? I've never experienced it before..how do I know if this is what's going on? What are the symptoms..I just have a lot of "discomfort" in my chest and throat mainly after I eat...

I have acid reflux all the time, is that considered heartburn? And is the saying true, acid reflux means your baby is going to have a head full of hair?

Does anyone have heartburn as a result of anxiety, i have had heartburn for 4 days it wont go away ! i have never had heartburn except when i was pregnant. just wondering if anyone else has this symptom?

When you stop eating gluten it can take a week for it to all get out of your system before your heartburn subsides and it could take a day after you eat gluten to start having heartburn so most people can't figure out what is giving them the heartburn. People think spicy foods give them heartburn because they notice it more after eating something spicy...it's the gluten people! But that's just my opinion!

I have to eat something when I take my Flecainide or I get bad acid reflux. I take 150 mgs 2 x a day for V-Tach.
