Severe acid reflux at 37 weeks

does anyone know any cures? As soon as I eat one little thing it gets stuck in my chest and hurts really bad all day.  I'm miserable. I've also been throwing up and really tired and I have diarrhea. :(

My doctor told me I could take Pepsid twice/day to help prevent the acid, and Tums to treat it. Made all the difference to me.

Thank you all :) hopefully the end is near bc I'm really hungry but I can't eat as much as I want without the acid reflux lasting for days. Hopefully one of your suggestions works for me!

Call me crazy but eat papaya. It is uh-maz-zing! Its the only thing that kills acid reclyx/heartburn on me. My doctor told me plain old immodium will work for diarrhea

Call your doctor tomorrow and have them call something in! I had the same issue and tums weren't doing the job anymore. Now it's like it's completely gone, the medicine is amazing!
