It's the gaviscon advance tablets I have a thing about.


I got quite addicted to them while pg with the twins and now I am pg again, it's back again. I could eat a whole pack of 60 tablets in one go if I let myself. Do you think it's dangerous? I am not sure why i crave them so much, I do have bad heartburn, but this goes beyond that, it's like I'm compelled to crunch them 5 or 6 at a time. I am taking extra calcium in case that's the problem, but the urge hasn't lessened.

Wow Fuschia! I tried the tablets, but it made me gag so much that I switched to the liquid. My sister-in-law was drinking a bottle a day because her heartburn was so bad in her 5th pregnancy and she and children are fine. Just a weird craving for you I guess?! Maybe check with your GP?

    • So Southwark in No Overall Control? Green / LD coalition?
    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
