Yup Gaviscon is a life saver. I take it everywhere I go. I get really really bad acid and it is extremely painful. Use Gaviscon, if you live in canada get it from walmart, dont buy it from shoppers, rip off.

Wintergreen flavored tums worked great for me nd the wintergreen ones don't taste like sugar powder like the original ones do they actually just taste like a mint

This is weird but it really worked for me every single time. I went in to labor and delivery once with my last pregnancy and when I got discharged I asked the nurse what to do for severe heartburn and she told me to open a can on voke and let it lie out for a while. Then drink it once it wasn't bubbly anymore. It surprisingly worked. And its safe to have 2 caffinated sodas a day. Hope it works for you too

Have you tried milk, ice cream, or yogurt? Those soothe my heartburn.

I have to take Prilosec OTC every night before bed, if I didn't have that I'd probably be dead!

I'm definitely going to have to try one of those because tums just aren't helping at all
