Something better than Tums?

I'm so happy that by 15 weeks, most of the nausea is gone. However, acid is killing me. Especially in the afternoons. And for some reason I have real aversions to Tums. I cant stand their taste, and I don't think they make any difference either (last pregnancy I would chew them as candy). Has anybody else found a good cure to acid? I asked in the pharmacy, but they told me, for pregnant women there is only Tums. Am not seeing my doctor in a while. Thank you!

Pepto-Bismol, but check with the doctor first. Mine okayed it.

I'm not keen on Tums either but they've been my lifesaver. I keep some at my desk at work and at home. I found that the tropical fruit flavored Tums are the only ones I can chew without feeling gaggy. If you haven't tried that flavor I recommend it..

Also, have you thought of Alka-Seltzer? That have it in different flavors now....maybe check with doc first before your try.

I actually chew on a cucumber. Sounds weird, I know. They are pretty alkaline and I think that's probably why they help.
