Acid Reflux!!!

[Wils89]

Hi everyone. I had fet on Friday. Since last night had awful acid reflux. I have never had this before so not prone to it. Has anyone here had it during 2ww? Any tips on how to manage it / get rid of it? Thanks!

I suffer from it a lot in general. I was prescribed Omaprazole in fact but I didn’t find it helped much. I’ve tried everything, gaviscon, rennie etc etc. It’s going to sound really silly but the only thing that helps me when it’s really bad is drinking fizzy pop. I’m not sure what we’re actually allowed to take in the tww.. xx

I'll second this Wils89 . How Random Vicky, never heard anyone else say this before!! I also suffer from this in general & take lansoprazole twice a day. Ice lollies sometimes help too and drinking icey cold milk too.xx

I thought I was just being a weirdo but I’ve literally tried all of the otc stuff and prescription stuff. The Doctor said when I gave up smoking it would probably disappear altogether. They lie! xx

I honestly can't believe it!! The Drs....what do they know!!🤣🤣🤣xx

Gaviscon is safe in pregnancy so should be safe in 2ww. Also love heart sweets work surprisingly well for acid reflux if you don’t want to take medicine!

I personally don’t suffer from this but my husband has problems. One of best things to help is to not to drink during meals and wait at least half an hour after the meal before drinking. Also, eating just steamed veggies particularly in the evening is also a great as it’s easy to digest. Avoid greasy, fried food especially in the evenings.

Try apple cider vinegar to keep your ph levels balanced or drink water with lemon see if that helps. All the best wish you get the big positive 🤞

Hi Wils89, it’s awful isn’t it! I hate having acid reflux and for me it was much worse in the evenings and nights, so very uncomfortable when you try to sleep.

I used to take Gaviscon and that used to help most of the time. Hope it helps you too!

And good luck with 2ww!! 🤞🤞x
