Hi

Treating acid stomach with antacids neutralizes the acid but does not solve the problem. The stomach then responds by making more acid and the cycle follows. It is better to drink a couple of glasses of water to dilute the acid to a point where it is not attacking your GI but does not interfere with what the body is trying to do. After a few times of this the problem will go away.
I have had personal experience with this for about 10 tears. It was so bad that I was admitted to the hospital twice because of this until I figured this out. It has been 25 years since I have had a problem since.
