Girl I have the same problem!!
Things that help me...
1) baking soda water (1tsp baking soda with warmer water) take like three gulps it tastes bad but helps sooo much
2) red apples eat a whole apple it helps soo much as well

They say milk or peppermint....I get it so bad that it doesn't help to much those are short term fixes..mine help for hours

Pantoprazole is the only thing that works for me. My mom is a dialysis patient and had some at home (40mg). I asked my doc & she said it was fine to take.

I told my doctor that i really need something that is not over the counter . ask about pantoprazole 20mg .. When i do get heartburn and take one it takes a little while to kick in but then no sign of heartburn for the rest of the day . watch what you eat and one pill may last two days.

You can take Rolaids. I think the liquid kind works better. Tums never worked for me
