Welcome to Acid Reflux Blog
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD or acid reflux, is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid can inflame and damage the lining (cause, cause esophagitis) of the esophagus although visible signs of inflammation occur in a minority of patients.

I’m glad that you are so concerned about your baby. my doctor told me that Tums (equate sells the same thing for vheaper at walmart
are perfectly safe, just do not take more than the reconmended dose. He said in my case they would be helpful because i am not a big milk fan. Prop your pillow up a little that seemed to help me. Good luck, i hope you find relief, i remember it all to well. -

I took Zantac 150 everyday during my pregnancy. If I went two days in a row without taking it, I would get so nauseous and couldn’t eat anything til I took one. It really saved me. My doc said it was safe to take, ask yours if it’s okay.
