Common Questions and Answers about Zantac with tums

zantac

I love zantac! With my first i got heartburn after EVERYTHING. I couldnt even drink water without getting heartburn. Zantac stopped most of it i then stopped taking 20 tums a day anfld only needed them maybe once every few days (not at all if i remembered to take my zantac first thing in the morning and at night!

ve had other pregnant women tell me zantac is way to go. My dr just keeps saying tums. I go February 4th for next appointment. I'm going to talk to her then.

My doc told me to take Zantac once before bed and once when I wake up and to take tums with calcium in between. I also find that drinking a lil bit of sprite helps because it makes me burp and it relieves a lot of the burning and uncomfortable pain.

Tums and i are best friends lol. Doc always said it's just an extra dose of calcium!!

ve struggled with heartburn my whole pregnancy I usually take 2 Zantac a day as well as tums when is really bothering me.

Both Tums and Zantac are safe per my doctors though I'd start with Tums (and do not take additional calcium supplements when you are on Tums).

You might consider peptobismol if nausea ensues, again spacing it out from when you took the zantac, because tums may not be so great for nausea as it is heartburn. But for me, ranitidine has not caused any nausea.

I have had it most of my pregnancy.

At the beginning of my pregnancy I drank cold milk to help. I also watched what I ate to ensure I didn't eat foods that made it worse. I eventually got to the point where I had to have wintergreen tums. I've heard of a lot of ladies getting great relief with Zantac. Make sure your are hydrated and don't lay down after you eat. Hope it gets better!

I was that way with my first ..I had to talk to my doctor and he gave me a nausea medicine and told me to take that with tums and if the tums didn't work he'd prescribe zantac or something ...if its that bad give them a call they may be able to call something in for you. You can also try the extra strength tums that's what I have to do with this baby ....

You can take Zantac before you get heartburn. Tums is typically after it has set in. To be on the comfortable side take Zantac prior to eating, look closely at what you are eating to cause the acid buildup i.e. orange juice, tomatoes and remove it from your diet, and adjust your sleeping to a more upright position.

Bananas helped sooooooooooooooooo much for me. Try to stay clear from too many tums and ant acids you haven't talked to your doctor about.

Milk curdle in you and can make it worse and even make you vomit. Dr said Zantac or pepcid is safe and take tums in between. If you take zantac once in morning and once at night it works wonders!! I swear by it. I had heartburn 5 out of 7 days in first and second trimesters. Now I have it every once in a while. Also don't lie down right after eating and eat smaller meals. Good kuck!
