I just started protonix in the morning and Zantac at night. The Zantac mint flavored is a life saver. I had severe heart burn a few weeks ago and since then itās disappeared. If you donāt like medicine, at night sit up sleeping with a heating pad on your belly and knees to your chest.
Milk always worked for me. And bananas. Good luck
A spoonful of baking soda in a glass of water is supposed to work well. I always stuck with zantac though
I second the zantac! It works wonders for me and my heartburn was so bad I would vomit.

The chewy tums worked great for me!
I had to get a prescription!
I take a zantac a day it works great heartburn is so bad but it does help
Might not be heartburn. If you get a pain in your upper right hand side under your boob, could be gallbladder issues.
Also, milk isnāt the best for heartburn. While it does coat the stomach at first, it eventually breaks down into sugars and fats which in turn cause more acid.
Ginger chews from Trader Joeās if you live close to one! There always helpful to me. Or really any ginger products, Ginger is good for digestive. Also in extreme cases I use little bit of baking soda and water. Itās nasty but helps!
Did you try the xtra strength peppermint tums I found those were the only ones that worked when I was pregnant. My doctor poked fun at me cause I carried a big bottle around with me
Dark choc almond milk
Tablespoon of mustard.
Spoon fulls of dry oatmeal. I know it sounds horrid but it actually isnāt too bad, and it really works- I have 4 sons and had horrendous heartburn with all of them- I used this method.
Milk has saved me my entire pregnancy with heartburn
Baking soda and lukewarm water. Instructions should be on the box.

Just try different forms of tums. Iām 33wks and tried alka-seltzer heartburn chews at first and those didnāt work. The Tums that are the original fruit flavor chalky tablets you chew work for me right now. But I remember with my first Rolaids worked. So just experiment with different anti acids. Also try cutting out foods with a lot of spice to them.

Pickle juice or Apple Cider Vinegar work wonders. If ACV dilute in a small amount of water.
I started taking Mattys natural acid indigestion relief! Work like a charm!
Zantac is safe and OTC
Mint gums, like polar ice flavor
I lived off the flavored Tums when I was pregnant only thing that helped me
Tums are actually not safe during pregnancy. ā¦ try gaviscon
Prego pops from babies r us
Dont eat red sauce, or anything chocolate, it makes heartburn worse.

I couldnāt eat anything with peppers or tomatoes. So pizza sauce, all that. And if I really wanted to, Iād drink a glass of milk before eating and it helped !

I had heartburn so bad toward the end of my pregnancy, I actually had to sleep sitting up. I also took zantac and doc recommended not eating 2-3 hours before bed. I would make sure you are not eating greasy or fried foods, or anything spicy.
waiting it out and drinking milk and sleeping on the left side had helped a lot but lately sleeping in my right side had helped more which is weird 
Glass of milk helps me
Donāt be crazy. Talk to your doctor.
I used to wake up at night all the time with horrible heartburn, the acid up in my throat, making me cough so hard sometimes Iād throw up. 
The only thing that saved me was chugging some liquid malox, and gargling listerine for a while. It would numb the back of my throat enough to help things calm down, so I could breathe, and possibly go back to sleep.
I swear by baking soda and water. It literally has saved me with my severe heartburn!!

Chewing gum, or a teaspoon of mustard. And zantac is safe to take.
Donāt use milk. Itāll give you an instant relief but the lactose actually irritates your stomach lining causing an over production of stomach acid which means your heartburn is more likely to come back with a vengeance.

Walmart Brand of Zantac, I think itās called Ranitidine. Way cheaper and does the same thing.

Baking soda and water. I teaspoon to 1 cup water. U will feel so much betterā¦ I called my dad crying one morning thinking I was about to dieā¦ 1 min after this I was better.

Baking soda in water.
Baking soda. Either mix a spoon full or 2 with a little water or just eat it and chase it with water. Best thing is you literally canāt take to much take it as often as needed. Worked wonders for me

My midwife wrote me a script for Zantac. LIFE.CHANGING.
Potato juice. Itās not the most pleasant flavor, but it really works!!
Watch what u eat some foods can cause heartburn, donāt lay down after eating. Small frequent meals. 
Milk is the only thing that helps me and make sure you donāt over eat or drink dark pop
