help.. severe heartburn!

[Riahjune]

Ok it's almost 1am and I cannot get to sleep for the life of me. This heartburn is terrible and I've tried tums, gum, an Apple, mustard.. idk what else to do! Any suggestions??

I take pepcid. My doctor said if tums dont work, pepcid or zantac is safe to take.  Pepcidis a life saver!

Drinking pickle juice works everytime for me!!!

Peppermints have done wonders for me today! I sucked on one and my pain subsided.. you should def try it!

Milk or ice cream usually works for me when tums wont. And sometimes a coke, weird as it sounds. Has to be the name brand coke, something about the acid counteracts my stomach and the bubbles help me burp, needs to be ice cold though

I feel your pain! I'm up as well instead of sleeping. The burning is making me want to vomit. Hope we both get some sleep soon

I had to use baking soda with my son it was the only thing that helped.

Baking Soda works

drink Milk or eat yogurt (dairy neutralizes the acid), if that doesn't work - baking soda mixed with water.
mustard is aciduc - that would only make the heartburn worse
