HEARTBURN IS EVIL

2am this morning it woke me up...not funny

I agree! Its vile! I was up at 2am too!!

I agree too!!!! I've had ALL afternoon and it was beginning to make me feel so ill I nearly had to go home from work, in the end I bought a pint of milk and sat and drank that which did make me feel a bit better. Grrrrrrrrr to heartburn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a phone call from my GP earlier and I asked about heartburn and she has written me a perscription for gaviscon as I am drinking so much of it at the moment.
I feel a little bad about using my exemption (sp) card to get gaviscon for free when you can buy it in the shops and not for things you can't by in the shops but not as bad as heartburn makes me feel

It got me at 3am this morning!

I was not a happy bunny at all!

I can only take the tablet form of Gaviscon as I would throw up if I had to drink it.

I had a lot of orange juice yesterday, which I know triggered mine.

I had it so bad when i was pg, couldnt sleep right for months cause of it. All I can say is ranitidine!!! Fab! I got it on prescription (I think you can get a lower dose form in tesco/boots), take 1 tablet in morning and 1 tablet at night. Absolutely brilliant, gaviscon is crap in comparison

Hope you ladies feel better soon! x

I wudnt feel bad, ive got it on script as its a ridiculous amount per bottle and when you go through say 3 bottles a week it adds up

Gaviscon!

Rennie Fruit tablets all the way for me... (store's own) - I went from half a tab at night to 3 halves throughout the day yesterday - thank you salad cream!!

Try sleeping propped up too NayNay xx

Don't feel bad for getting it on prescription, it's something you need it's not like your drinking it for fun!

I only had eartburn twice in my whole pregnancy thankfully but it was the first time i'd ever got it and I seriously thought I was dying lol

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo my gaviscons stopped working

Ive had it all damn day and taken gav twice and it aint touched it.

awww i remember that well in the end i was having gaviscon advance by the bottlefull - the only way it worked for me was to take a decent mouthful on the hour every hour regardless of wether i had heartburn or not - it works then and only bothers you at night cos you can't do that all night

I ended on tabs last time that were great if i took em every morning and helped, ive avoided it thus far though cos its not been quite as evil but can def feel bubs higher up now so will have to see

The Gaviscon advance seems to be working so far for me (fingers crossed)
