does this really work?

I have heartburn really bad right now and I can't sleep I have to be up early in the morning and need some tips I heard drinking milk can help but I'm not sure if it would cause a sore stomach....any advice would be welcomed.

Lying on my left side and drinking water works for me.

Try tums. Got a paper from my doc today, and tums is safe. Milk of Magnesia is also allowed.

TUMS and milk or water

Tums.....and lots of.water. nothing really keeps it away for me.

Baking soda water. I take pills but use this as well.

ilk never works for me and water is a huge NO!!! try some tums.

Water makes it worse! Milk will help

I have taken tums but doesn't seem to be working water works for a bit but doesn't last guess I will be trying the milk how much of it should I drink small or large glass?

I take a zantac about an hour before I eat... water makes it worse, sometimes milk does too..tums don't touch it for me....
Good Luck

My OB actually recommended that I eat two TUMs a day because I don't have enough calcium in my diet for the baby. Milk doesn't touch my heart burn but it works for some people.

The relief provided from milk is temporary and generally isn't worth it since it doesn't set well. Tums are great, of course, but actually eating yogurt and apple cider vinegar (two tablespoons in a glass of water) work well, too.

Chocolate milk always worked for me and that's what my dr. Said to do as well the chocolate will make you milk thicker and should help.

haven't tried yogurt but I have some in the fridge think I may try it

Tums or pickle juice.
