Anybody tried this for heartburn?

Last time I had to take protonix everyday after about 27 weeks because it was so bad. I ate tums till they made me puke, then she had me take pepcid or some other OTC one and it was just making it worse. I would eat three bites of dinner and wait an hour and eat three more and I was still crying at night because I couldn't sleep even propped up on my right side because it hurt so bad. I'm not that bad yet this time but I'm only 17 weeks so we'll see. I don't really think this icecream thing is permanent, just a fun alternative

I would eat ice cream every night with both DS's. It does help. This time I don't really crave it. I also ate papaya extract tablets when the thought of Tums made me wanna vomit. They help too.

If a milkshake helps, go for it! I HATE heartburn.

I take zantac 150 every 12 hours (thats rx strength) and took it with my last pregnancy too. Milk helps for a bit. I say if icecream is working, go for it until it doesn't work anymore...you have to have your bit of joy through the pain to keep you going!

Some lady at the grocery store told me that if you eat a few spanish (green) olives it works wonderful. I grabbed a jar and ate 3 the other night before I ate supper and did not get ANY heartburn. Woohoo!!!

I LOVE baking soda and a little water for heartburn. It will make you burp like a sailor for a few minutes but heartburn is completely gone afterwards.

This worked better for me than any kind of "medicine" when I was pregnant.
