Just wondered if anyone else has been suffering with heartburn?? I get it every day all day it seems and i have just about had enough. I am really carful with what i eat, but it doesnt seem to matter cause i get it by just drinking a glass of water. Milk is a temporary releif for me, but lately it only seems to make it go away for a few minutes. i am at work today and it is just about killing me. Anyone get any suggestions on how i can limit this from happening or what i might be doing wrong. Thanks!

yup i have the same deal.. Sucks im currently sleeping on the couch sitting up cause its soo bad it makes me sick in the night:( Ive been prescribed meds to ease it cause its pretty dangerous when im sleeping and gagging on vomit.Ive tried everything from not eating anything after a certain time to changing what i eat and nothing but the prescription works! i dunno if its a little late to ask your doctor about something they can prescribe you? Good luck

I totally have the same problem! It's awful, no matter what I eat, I get it (or even when I don't even eat). I've been living on Tums...they're gross at first, but then you just get used to chewing on them. Do it! It will make you feel so much more comfortable. I have the extra strength Tums.

have you tried eating tums? the dr told me that tums are probably the best thing to have and i eat them like candy.. i've been getting harsh heart burn but it works the best.. you should give it a try

They say its a sign that your child will have long, thick, healthy hair but friends and relatives have said that its not true.

i have heard the same thing about hair. Althou my mum said she only had heartburn with one of us and that is was my little brother and he was born wtih the least hair lol. Althou i am kinda hoping this baby will have a nice head of hair and then all my suffereing will be worth while lol.

Thanks for the tip, i will see if i can take gaviscon, althou i am not in pain this morning so lets hope it last longer then a few minutes.
