Acid reflux

I see everyone on here saying how amazing omeprazole is but it does absolutely nothing for my reflux. I've been on it since 16 weeks, now 30 weeks and just had enough. Anyone been prescribed anything else or is that the only option?! P.s gaviscon and rennie also doesn't help 😫

Have you experimented with taking at different times of the day? I’ve read that might help.

I've struggled with acid reflux ever since having my first child. I can say that none of these work for me either. Although Asda's own brand version of gaviscon works much better for me. I also do at home remedies such as having basil seeds in cold milk or water just before bed which is meant to be cooling for the body. Dont sleep on your left side and completely avoid other drinks and food unless your having basil seeds 3 hours before bed. Dont mix hot and cold food and drinks together either.... hope it gets better for you x

@Zaiinab thank you for replying, will definitely give the 3 hour thing a go, does that include plain water ?! Funny you should say about left side as it does make it so much worse and makes my throat gurgle on the left!! X

@Jess thank you, I have yes 😫😫 x

Funny I did say left lol. I meant right becuase thats where your stomach and gall bladder is. Avoid sleeping on the right. Yes also water 3 hours before bed. Stop taking omeprazole and try these things for a bit. I also did a private intolerance test to see what foods triggered my digestive system being unhappy. Found a lot of the foods I ate regularly my body was not happy with. I cut down on that too and felt a massive change. I think from this you can gather how bad my acid reflux and heartburn was. I was determined to sort it out lol
