Acid Reflux?

Question

I am 16 weeks pregnant and have awful acid reflux. I've tried Tums, Malox, and Mylanta but they do nothing for me. Anybody out there know of any alternatives? Please advise!
(also have tried white milk and chamomille)

Answer 1

If you talk to your OBGYN, he will probably prescribe Nexium. But, remember that acid reflux is normal during pregnancy, and it's best to try homeopathic, or at least, drug-free ways to treat it. It sounds like you were on the right track. Try taking a tea-spoon of honey before a meal, or first thing in the morning. Also, try eating milder foods. Unfortunately, as your pregnancy progresses, your heartburn is likely to get even worse. So, perhaps a prescription is in order. Good luck.
