Does anyone have any recomendations for acid reflux? It doesn't matter what I eat, the same thing happens. I took med. for it at one time, but that was before I was pregnant. The name was protonix, I know you shouldn't breastfeed if you are taking this med, so I would assume that you sholdn't take it while pregnant. Any suggestions?

You may only be one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person!

when I was prego I was up to a bottle... yes a whole bottle of tums a week so when that happened the doctor had me get Zantac 150. I was in my 3rd trimester and didn't take it while nursing. I would ask your doctor about it. Mine was so soo bad. Also eating raw almonds did help a little ( not salted just plan ones)

My doc also allowed me to take Zantac when I was pregnant...it wasn't OTC back then. If you want to take it, I would call and talk to your doc first though. It was a LIFESAVER for me. I had heartburn so bad it made me cry.

I was actually prescribed Protonix for the first time when I was pg with my son. So I KNOW its safe during pregnancy. They also have a generic out for it now.

Acid Reflux is definitely part of pg, but talk to your ob just in case. My severe acid reflux turned out to be gallstones. I had my gallbladder removed when I was 15 weeks pregnant. If you have any pain just under your ribs on the right side, it could be gallstones. Mine was misdiagnosed twice.
