Home Remedy For Heartburn During Pregnancy

Q.Remedy for heartburn from antibiotics? My wife recently had prostate surgery and has been taken antibiotics for about a week now. Unfortunately they are giving him a lot of heartburn. The over the counter stuff isn't working ( zantac, maalox, tums). We called the doctor and they say she needs to take for 2 more days and weren't really helpful in any suggestions to help other than chase it with food. however, the most important thing is that she is pregnant. So can anyone here help me find out a solution for her please?
