Dealing with Nonstop Heartburn: Tips and Tricks

Pepto and tums. My mom swears by it and I've found it works for me too.

Milk makes mine worse. I avoid foods that I know are triggers. I take omeprazole in the morning & famotadine at bed time. In the case of break through acid I take either tums or pepto. I also never sleep flat, I got a heads up adjustable base for my bed & always have it raised at least 6-8 inches

I try to avoid greasy/salty foods. Always have some pepto/tums with you though they're life savers fr

Anti-acids and keeping track of what you eat (so you can monitor what makes you feel good and what doesn’t…don’t form unhealthy eating habits!)

First talk to a doctor about that. It could be something more. But for the time being milk and omperzole. And if your dedicated enough, a anti acid diet. 🛑Avoid foods with high acidity🛑 like tomatoes🍅 !

I didn't think there was anything I could do so didn't talk to a doctor about it. Chatting with my doctor and trying medication has made a huge difference. If you were interested in dietary changes typing in GERD diet and looking at resources from credible sources can also give you some info. Hopkins medicine.org has a good article

When I'm having a hard time with my heartburn, I use tums and dairy. OTC acid reducers are pretty much all proton pump inhibitors and taking them for more than two weeks can often cause them to begin exacerbating the issue 😥 tums doesn't do that, but you do need to watch your calcium with it. I hope any of that helps. Heartburn is no fun 🫂
