I have it...it was one of my first symptoms of pregnancy though I didn't recognise it as such at the time(before I even tested positive) since I had never had it in either of my 3 previous pregnancies.

Now her I am 23weeks and suffering from acid reflux...no heartburn this time but this is worse...it gets so bad I get nauseated but I don't want to uke because it hurts/burns.

Anything I can do...I am elevating my head and trying not to eat before bed...

I think someone mentioned chewing gum as well...will give that a try...at least it will cover the taste

any other suggestions...and please please tell me once this baby comes it will go away

Thanks

Tums doesn't help this anyway...geez, I had no idea they weren't ok...I have taken them throughout my first 3 pregnancies...who knew? They are the only thing I ever took for anything so I guess that's pretty good anyway.

where do I get this...healthfood stores? Is it liquid, tablet, capsule...I am vegetarian and many things are in gelatin

I think I would like to try this...I get so nauseated but I am so scared to be sick because it would burn...I am so miserable!

So I picked up some papaya...lets hope it helps!

Thanks for all the info...I sure hope it goes away when baby comes...my heartburn always did.

so far the papaya seems to be helping...I only had one little incident yesterday and I had forgotten to take the papaya so my fault....I even had a glass of lemonade with supper and nothing!
