i had been using Rennie's which worked fabulously until a couple of weeks ago- now have changed to zantac (the 12 hr ones, i take one morning and night) and they work a treat. Oh and its safe too and can be bought over the counter at pharmacist.

The other reason I changed to zantac was cos my iron levels are quite low and Rennies are calcium based (which inhibits the absorption of iron).

Thanks for the replies ladies, I'll buy some Zantac tomorrow and see how that goes.

It doesn't work for me, unfortunately

my GP gave me the liquid Mylanta and as bad as it tastes it works for me

Zantac is the only thing that works for me

When pregnant I used quickeze........but it is interesting reading how many people used Zantac.

Some nearly 2 years ago I was having what we (doctor and I) thought were gall attacks and I was left with the most horrendous heartburn I had ever had.

I had 3 attacks over the weekend and was on my way to work Monday night, and the heartburn was horrendous, so I had some Zantac (for the first time) before leaving for work.

An hour later I was in the midst of an anaphylactic shock....................tingling in my ears, throat and lips, difficulty breathing and covered in welts. I was shipped of to our ICU, cannulated, heart monitored and medicated. Transferred to our large regional hospital a couple of hours later.

That's my Zantac story...........................

I hope the heartburn improves Presh................

Presh, I've just discovered that Lemonade Icypoles help I was eating them in bed the other night as it was so freaking hot, I was pleasently suprised when it dulled my reflux!
