Zantac is safe and works amazingly also soda water works decently in a pinch an old nurse friend of mine had me try it while I was stuck at work and it helped a great deal

Zantac. Used it with my first, am using it with this one. It's a lifesaver.

I get really bad heartburn at work.. which is not ideal since I work in surgery and can't leave!.. A wiser and older nurse makes a 7up and salt mixture for me. I drink a cup full and I feel so much better.. Can't hurt to try! Hopefully you find relief...
