Eating ALL THE FOOD and getting a little heartburn help from Pepcid Complete

July 31, 2014 by amushro

*I have received information, product, and materials from McNeil Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co., the makers of PEPCID®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post for Mom It Forward.*

This year we are doing summer right! We are logging serious hours playing in the sand and surf at the beach, swimming at the pool until our fingers look like raisins, and playing outside until the fireflies come out. Along with all of this summer fun has been a lot of great good. Now, I am not one of those people that takes pictures of their food and posts them online, but come on, friends, just look at what I have been chowing down on the past few weeks!

Pepcid

All of this food has been amazingly yummy, but I’ve been paying for this super rich food in the gym and with ridiculous heartburn. Ugh, it’s awful. One night I actually  tried sleep sitting up because I was so uncomfortable. Because, you know, nothing says restful sleep like sleeping in the upright position.

After another round of over indulging in amazing dinner and paying for it with heartburn, I ran straight to the medicine cabinet. You know the drill: this one requires you take a million chalky tablets (Gross) , this one says to take the pill before you get heartburn (What? How can you even plan that?), or one that takes hours to start working (Not even useful). None of these are helpful. So when the nice people at Pepcid suggested I try Pepcid complete for those delicious eating after effects, I was tempted. When they told me one chewable tablet works in seconds, the tablets taste great and lasts all day, I said “stop talking and give me the bottle.”

After taking just one chewable tablet I felt sweet relief. No more sleeping sitting up for this gal! Good because this is what I ate the next week:

Pepcid

No big deal because the food was so good and this time I had Pepcid Complete to save me from the wrath of heartburn.

Did you know that almost every person experiences heartburn and 25 million adults experience heartburn every day!

    Mine seems to come in stages, but it’s so aggravating and uncomfortable when it happens. Thank goodness for quick relief!

    I have heart burn if I eat certain things past a certain of day. I pretty much can’t eat anything spicy or with onions after 4 pm!

    The yummy food you have shared in this post is exactly why I need Pepcid too! I cannot crack my craving for junk foods.

    I have recently started to get horrible heart burn! I will have to try Pepcid!

  5. Lindsey @ Redhead Baby Mama says

    oooh man, that sub sandwich looks so good. I needed meds like these when I was pregnant!

  6. Kay Adeola says

    August 4, 2014 at 10:32 am

    I got heartburn the other day for the first time in around 4 years but have no idea what caused it.

  7. Lois Alter Mark says

    August 4, 2014 at 10:36 am

    All that food looks amazing! My husband swears by Pepcid!

      Mine needs this too! Thankfully I can eat greasy and not need it all the time!

  8. Jaime says

    August 4, 2014 at 10:59 am

    I had SO much heartburn when I was pregnant. Now I seem to get it when I eat too many greasy foods.

    I love all things food. I never use to have heartburn until I had my second child and now it comes up all the time and I hate it especially at night

  10. Kelli says

    August 4, 2014 at 11:10 am

    My husband suffers from heartburn daily, I wonder if he has every tried this. I will have to tell him about it!

  11. Elizabeth Towns says

    August 4, 2014 at 11:28 am

    25 million people? That’s a lot of people. I am definitely among that number. I have experienced heartburn in the past; but only when I was pregnant. It’s a miserable feeling. If I got it regularly, Pepcid would be my best friend.

  12. Betsy Mitchell says

    August 4, 2014 at 11:33 am

    That food looks so good. I’m ready for lunch now!

  13. Debbie Denny says

    August 4, 2014 at 1:11 pm

    Some foods really kick heartburn in high gear. Gotta admit your pictures are making me hungry. lol

  14. Amanda H. says

    August 4, 2014 at 1:54 pm

    Ooh – that submarine sandwich looks so good. I’d need Pepcid after too.

  15. Tracie says

    August 4, 2014 at 3:31 pm

    I’ve been noticing more frequent heartburn recently. I am going to have to try Pepcid next time that pain starts!

  16. Dawn says

    August 4, 2014 at 3:59 pm

    I love Pepcid Complete. It lets me eat all the foods that I normally shy away from, because of the heartburn I get later.

  17. Diane N - Philzendia says

    August 4, 2014 at 4:15 pm

    Good to know. I need to try these Pepcid Complete tablets.

  18. Chrishelle Ebner says

    August 4, 2014 at 4:39 pm

    My husband has awful heartburn. Pepcid Complete definitely helps tame his flame. He refuses to give up the foods that cause him indigestion, thank goodness for Pepcid.

  19. Everyday Living with Chrys says

    August 4, 2014 at 5:20 pm

    I have used Pepcid Complete before. It seems to work really well.

  20. Nicole says

    August 4, 2014 at 5:34 pm

    I find it’s the super spicy food that Hubs loves that always gets the best of me. I’ve never understood why someone would want to breathe fire and eat food so hot your head sweats…

  21. Trisha says

    August 4, 2014 at 5:47 pm

    Pepcid is my husband’s best friend. He gets heartburn often so I always make sure to have this in stock!

  22. Mitch says

    August 4, 2014 at 6:19 pm

    Yes, I just started investing in this product! It seems the older I get the less easy it is to at everything in sight!

  23. Jessica says

    August 4, 2014 at 6:32 pm

    I LOVE Pepcid. I have a problem with spicy foods and always have Pepcid in my bag to cure the nasty heart burn attacks. It works so quickly.

  24. Rachael says

    August 4, 2014 at 8:02 pm

    I get acid reflux when I eat poorly. I’ll have to try Pepcid Complete.

  25. April @ Everyday Fitness and Nutrition says

    August 4, 2014 at 8:31 pm

    The only time I’ve ever had heartburn was when I was pregnant. I remember how horrible that was!

  26. Tami says

    August 4, 2014 at 8:45 pm

    I’ll have to try this. Some spicy foods give me heartburn, but not all the time. I think the time of the day is also a big factor.

  27. Milena says

    August 4, 2014 at 8:58 pm

    Pepcid is the only thing that cures my heartburn! My mom always has this in her purse. Thank God!

    August 4, 2014 at 9:56 pm

    I love food… especially spicy food. If it weren’t for Pepcid, it wouldn’t even be a possibility.

  31. Mama to 5 BLessings says

    August 4, 2014 at 10:52 pm

    This stuff works like a charm! Plus it works almost instantly too!

  32. Janell Poulette says

    August 4, 2014 at 11:06 pm

    I had such heartburn when I was pregnant. Luckily I haven’t had it since but I am so glad Pepcid is available!

  33. Ann BAcciaglia says

    August 4, 2014 at 11:20 pm

    Your food photos look so good! As I get older, I find that indigestion and heart burn are becoming more of an issue. The joys of becoming older.

  34. Dawn says

    August 4, 2014 at 11:28 pm

    I adore fair food, but it always ALWAYS gives me heartburn. I’ll grab a bottle of Pepcid Complete to take with me this year!

  35. Carly Anderson says

    August 5, 2014 at 12:09 am

    As I get older, I’ve been getting heartburn more and more. Thank goodness for products like Pepcid to help us out so we can still enjoy these foods!

    August 5, 2014 at 12:25 am

    Looks like the perfect summer food right there! Thanks for the tip about heartburn – always looking for something that works fast 🙂

  40. Michelle Swank says

    August 5, 2014 at 2:32 am

    Yes, Pepcid complete is one of my go-to remedies for heartburn. I love it! I panic when I realize I’m out!

  41. Mommy2jam says

    August 5, 2014 at 3:39 am

    OHH Pepcid to the rescue. My friend could not live without taking this after she ate. This was her miracle pill, LOL

  42. Christie says

    August 5, 2014 at 8:17 am

    Those definitely would give me heartburn! Must be old age, LOL

  43. Rosey says

    August 5, 2014 at 8:42 am

    I had a bad case of it recently and totally knew what all the fuss was about. That stuff is no fun at all!

  44. Rebekah says

    August 5, 2014 at 9:26 am

    Wonder if it’s safe for pregnant women? I ended up on a prescription for heart burn, but this would have been AWESOME.

  45. Katrina says

    August 5, 2014 at 9:39 am

    I get realy bad heart burn, I’ll have to try pepcid. My usual treatment hasn’t been working that great 🙁

  46. Tonia says

    August 5, 2014 at 9:52 am

    I would definitely need a little help from Pepcid. I get the worst heartburn ever.

  47. Brandy says

    August 5, 2014 at 10:45 am

    I haven’t tried this, but I do suffer from heartburn with certain foods that I flat out refuse to stop eating. For example, my spicy HOT italian grinders I make 😉 Thanks for sharing your experiences with this product.

  48. Lori says

    August 5, 2014 at 12:02 pm

    Those foods look delicious! But I would need the pepcid too!

  49. Mel Outnumbered says

    August 5, 2014 at 12:04 pm

    I just had the worst heartburn last night. I’ll have to grab some Pepcid!

  50. Marina @ Mommy Snippets says

    August 5, 2014 at 12:07 pm

    THese foods look really good! We use Pepcid for heartburn too.

  51. Cyndi @ MrsWrightWrites says

    August 5, 2014 at 12:09 pm

    I never knew the horrors of heartburn until i was pregnant. Luckily I don’t get it anymore often, but it would be good to keep some of these on hand just in case.

  52. Veronica says

    August 5, 2014 at 12:28 pm

    My BF gets heartburn from Mexican Foods yet he eats it all the time. As long as it can be treated

  53. Angie | Big Bear's Wife says

  57. Ann Bacciaglia says

    August 5, 2014 at 5:25 pm

    One of the joys of getting older is heartburn. I never used to get heartburn and I now I get it after eating certain food.

  58. Virginia @thatbaldchick says

    August 5, 2014 at 6:36 pm

    I’ve had reflux for years, and Pepcid has saved many a meal for me. It works so well.

  59. Debbie L. says

    August 5, 2014 at 8:17 pm
