Agonizing Heartburn

Somebody please tell me what the strongest, most effective heartburn medication
that is safe to take during pregnancy is! I felt like there was a fire coming
up my throat all night last night!

Ask your dr about Aciphex... That works wonders! Zantac works good as
well.. you just have to remember to take it

Leslie,

You did ask for strong medication .... but.... something I know works for me
and it has helped my wife from her daily heartburn as well. Apple.... She
thought I was nuts when I told her to eat an apple but she did anyways and
apparently it helped. Of course I guess it depends on how bad it is.

Hope that helps,

Kevin
PS - I think it needs to be green but I don't know we only buy golden
delicious or other green varities.

I've never heard of Aciphex . . . is it OTC? I don't see the OB again until
Thursday but I will ask him then if I can't find something OTC to work. Is
Zantac OTC?

If it works, I don't care if it's medicine or faith healing LOL . . . I prefer
Golden Delicious myself so I will pick up a bag this afternoon. Thanks, Kevin!

never leave home without them, OR go to bed without them! Keep them
under your pillow.

good luck.

Unfortunately, I don't know of anything medication wise, but when I had
haertburn, the only thing that seemed to help was papaya. I just bought the
dried papaya and took that after dinner. If I did get heartburn it was way
more mild than if I didn't take it.

I would talk to your doctor about Nexium. It works almost immediately,
it's very efficient, and lasts a long time. I took it and I think it's
great.
