Drink pickle juice or Apple cider vinegar. Takes heartburn away instantly.
Milk helped me a little last night. It was so bad, my ears were on fire, my jaw ached and I was getting hot, sweaty and shaky from the pain, had waves of nausea and really felt like I would vomit... I think it was coz I took fish oil tablets before bed. Was up til 2.30am so finally drank some milk. I think it helped as water wouldn't mix with oil and send it down but milk did. Anyway it was enough to get to sleep but today I'm buying Rennie! Not keen for another night like last night. I haven't found anything that works usually except Rennie tablets!
Milk is an acid so the more of it you drink the worse it gets.
Gaviscon,Rennie,cold glass of water don't eat late,small portions
Tums. Zantac OTC is also safe. I take it everyday. I would be miserable without it.
