mercury -“i am not sure which medicine your refering to that you took while pregnant. my heartburn isnt unbearable its just uncomfortable. either way when i told my dr she said just drink milk (huh!?).”
Now this is an old wive’s tale. They used to say drink milk for heartburn because it’s soothing on the way down, but they found out that Milkfat actually causes more acid to be generated.
But it’s ok to drink a 8oz cup of skim milk even if you have heartburn. It’s funny lots a Docs when they specialize, like Ob, all of a sudden they forget everything they learned in Med school. The mantra of Ob’s is don’t take any medications and this is fine by me, but there is no reason a pt. should suffer because they won’t take any medication for their conditions, esp. if the risk is extremely small and the pt. wants to.
