i am taking 20 mg of otc prilosec, tums, and mylanta before bed. this is not helping. i don't feel like it's always reflux, it feels more like just heartburn all the time. i wake up with it before i even eat. it makes be sick at my stomach. i had a refelxogist run a test on me once and she said i was very acidic. and that was way before i had heartburn problems. now i am thinking she was right. what is the best thing to take.
i bought some generic type of acid reducer that is compared to pepcid. has abyone had any luck with this for heartburn? just wondering. it is 20 mg, but said not take more than 2 a day. so i am going to try t he 40 mg, because 20 mg of prilosec is not cutting it.
Hi Teacher.. Gaviscon is a wonder "drug" when it comes to heartburn or GERD or anything of that nature. Take the liquid form, it does seem to work better. Easy to take and you don't have to worry about side effects. It usually works within about 15-30 minutes.
good luck!
does gaviscon have aluminum in it? aluminum is toxic (cause dementia and osteoporosis and kidney probs....). i don't want to ingest it so I am very frustrated with the OTC meds out there. Most contain aluminum. sigh! i got some mylanta that is just calcium and magnesium.
Use the extra strength Mylanta Liquid. I take 2 teaspoons at bedtime and it works well, no longer wake up with a burning stomach. I also use it during the day if needed.
