A member asked:

Are Gas-X, Carafate, and Tums safe to take if pregnant (too soon to know if I am yet)? My GI specialist said talk to obgyn, but I asked a bunch this week. Can I pick the worst symptom & treat. I'm cramping like menstrual & gassy. Not usually this bad?

14 weeks pregnant and exposed to a natural gas leak (left burner on stove on for 12 hours). We are safe from any fire hazard now but Im worried there may have been an effect on the fetus. I didnt feel any symptoms when my husband discovered it?
