omeprazole and tums

Avoid heavy meals and take frequent small ones. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I was taking a prescription (omeprazole) to control my severe reflux(GERD) before I found out I was pregnant. My primary doctor suggested I stop taking it until my first appt with OB( 1/27) to see what she suggests. My reflux is severe and I don't want to keep taking Pepcid and tums like crazy. Has anyone else had this before pregnancy and what were you given to take that was safe?

I take Nexium 40mg which is class b. I took it with my first 9 years ago and taking it now and im 37 weeks. Zantac, and tums didnt work for me either. ask your dr.

Milk and tums. Don't lay flat on your back and try not to lay down right after eating.

I'm currently taking lexapro for anxiety & depression and Omeprazole for Gerd and just found out I'm 4 weeks pregnant. My doctor said the benefIt's outweigh the risks but I'm reading some really scary defects online and I'm wondering if anyone here has had good/bad experiences with them?

Anyone taking Omeprazole and milk of magnesia on occasion for acid reflux????

Eating smaller meals through out the day and staying away from spicy and greasy foods will help...

I dieted and lost more weight than may have been good, lost the fat around my middle and have been very careful what I eat, when I eat, and take tums when needed (not within 5 hours of taking the Harvoni). I think the weight in my middle squeezes the stomach. I was very worried about life without Omeprazole, but I am in week 5 of treatment and have been able to manage without it. The RIBA makes it worse. GERD can be miserable for sure, best of luck.

I finally took Zantac, since i was relying on tums and they would stop working after 15 minutes. Eating too many tums is bad, and just changing my diet hadn't helped since even water gives me heartburn.

My heartburn got to be a daily problem for me and my Dr prescribed Prilosec (Omeprazole generic name) and it works for me!

My doctor prescribed me Omeprazole 20mg because nothing else would work for me and this has been my absolute life saver!! It's the only thing that has worked this whole pregnancy!

-( Im sorry, you may wanna take sum tums and bring plenty of water, for the baby if the babu is too far up take something frozen in your fridge put it on the area the baby is on amd it will move from tje cold

I got omeprazole from my gp when I was pregnant last time and I took one a day it stopped the heartburn completely. I'm 13 weeks tomorrow and have just been prescribed it again as heartburn had started. Not had it for 3 days now it's great. Speak to your doctor and see what they say. I tried everything else and nothing worked apart from these tablets. Hope you find something to help you heartburn is horrible.

My mom even got me a bottle of tums for a socking stuffer at Christmas and I have yet to use it.. Hope the DR willl give you something that will work.

The GI doc has me switching off omeprazole (prilosec) in the morning and ranitidine (zantac) before bed. Switching the two helps and of course watching what I eat and drink, Right now I am uncomfortable from my dinner - the giant milk shake was a bit too much milk and sugar for me. I have no saage advice for this one.... but can definitely commiserate.

I'm on 20mg Omeprazole 2x a day and have never had issues with it causing bloating - I've taken this for 3 years now. How long have been on it? What medical issues do you have, that could also be causing excess bloating.

Smoothies by tums are the only thing I tolerate. And lemonade. It's so strange. Lol but it works for me.

mustard is a good way to stop heartburn stop heartburn immediately I lick it

If it has been 2-4 weeks since starting the Omeprazole and you have taken it AS PRESCRIBED and have done LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS, then you need to reconsult your physician. You probably should consult a GI Specialist and have an Endoscopy done to make sure nothing else is going on. Sounds like GERD based on your complaints with your stomach at night.

Tums works and Also a glass of milk.. If you don't like white milk yoohoo worked for me too.. Hope this helps.

Heartburn is keeping me up. All I have at home is tums which had been working great but just aren't cutting it. What medicine do you ladies find most effective?

I have had heartburn for over a year now,i think i might have something more severe,i waz taking zantac 150,then i found something that worked more better,Omeprazole Magnesium(compare to preacid) but now that am pregnant i dont kno what to take i stop taking everything,and my heartburn is killing me alive,i cant sleep i cant eat or eat anything..and i heard tums are the only thing a preg woman can take..but those work only for 10mins then i start again =""((...

its a burning sensation in my throat and feels like something is hung in the middle of my throat. Mostly with spaghetti and foods of that nature so I cut them out of diet. However It occurs at random, any suggestions on how to ease that.

I'm taking omeprazole(prilosec) and have been since I was about 16weeks I couldn't eat or drink even water it was so bad I didn't wanna take any medicine either but it was so bad and the Dr assured me it was safe.

I take 150mg zantac and its the only thing that works for me. I have heartburn and gerd. Had it before I got pregnant. Got worse when I got pregnant. So I have to take 2 a day. One in the morning and one at night. Try not to eat and then lay down. Wait about two hours after eating to lay down. I hope this helps.

Anyway, been having problems with nausea on and off for some time. Been feeling like that the past e3 or 4 days again and been mainly been using Pepto or Tums. Last time this happened, my doc gave me a prescription for Omeprazole DR. 20 mg. Of course, the day after my appt, the nausea went away so I never tried it. Well, the nausea is back again and I am a bit concerned about taking this med. I am not good at taking prescription meds as I've had problems in the past.
