Lemon water not only helps me but is scientifically proven to help with heart burn/acid reflux. Hope you feel some relief soon!

Ask your doctor if you can take a round of Nexium, Prilosec just doesnt work for me, maybe you need a different medication.

I've heard apple cider vinegar can help. I'm from Canada and I use liquid gaviscon or milk of magnesia which help a lot. Tums also helps a bit. Avoiding acidic foods like tomatoes and anything spicy will help too.

My mother in law told me to try a spoon full of white sugar. Good luck!

I also use ice cream or milkshakes. Chocolate seems to work best for me. Also, sucking on lemons.  I know it's an acidic fruit, but there's something in it that counteracts the acid

Water with lemon has helped me. I know it sounds strange to add more acid to your stomach to fix heartburn but it works somehow. Good luck, heartburn is the worst

I have heartburn almost everyday. Sometimes Zantac just doesn't work.  What works for me is ice cream. I always keep it n my freezer. If I have heartburn I just get a spoonful and it goes away. Hopefully it works for u also good luck.

Drink baking soda in water.... It's not something you want to do every day because it's high in sodium but I use it occasionally when it's at its worst. The taste is awful but if you can do it and keep it dowm it works within minutes.....

I live in Australia so don't know what you have there but a few chewable Rennie tablets gave me enough relief to get to sleep at least... No other heartburn products worked for me...

Prilosec otc I take one and it works for straight 2 to 3 days. I have the worst heartburn and acid reflux but that does miracles for me. I can eat w.e I want when I take that. And trust me I cried before I had that in my life the heart burn was tooo much to handle.
