Hi lol, I was on omeprazole for the nausea with mtx but I am not sure it helped. Consultant told me though that it was a good standby if you had a dodgy curry !!! But, once I upped the folic acid as people suggested on this site the nausea disappeared. Just a thought and I know it is early days for you with the mtx, just hang in there for a while and see what happens.

Yes, I got really bad heartburn, I upped my folic acid, omeprazole and had anti-sickness tablets, had them both anyway but upped them.

I also found Gaviscon fantastic and you can get sachets and tablets to take out and about.

I just stuck it through and it got better. I went on self injections in the end which also helped.
