I get the worst indigestion ever. The Dr has me on zantac 150 twice a day. I take tums when needed and when I feel it coming on eating Dill pickles or drinking 2 to 3 tablespoons of pickle juice helps me a lot.

I'm using ranitidine tablets and am very happy with how well they're working.  I was waking up from my sleep with acid spew in my mouth, lovely I know.  But haven't had it since using these tabs

Anything peppermint gives me terrible acid reflux.  Ginger tea also helps with acid it's a little spicy which you would think would make it worse but it doesn't it helps with digestion too

Zantac 150. Baking soda.  Apple cider vinegar.  You can try a little glass of milk but beware milk also causes heartburn due to the sugars in it.and water will cause heartburn. Rolaids work better than tums for short term relief.  I recently had to get Perscription for acid reflux and heartburn so I've been there done that.  Also eat small frequent meals at least 3 Hours before bedtime and if you do the Zantac 150 take it twice a day in am and pm. Also I have to sleep propped up on 3 - 4 pillows.  I'm 34 weeks. Good luck :)

I know this isn't the most pleasant taste but it works. Apple cider vinegar. The real stuff with "the mother". Take a shot of it. Also I've read picked juice but I've never tried that
