Tums never worked for me, but pepacid worked wonderful for my all day acid reflux!

I have it really bad and have to take Prilosec every night before bed, it would wake me up during the night and I've throne up a couple times because of it, since I started taking Prilosec it's been gone and I'm super thankful!! Tums only worked for a little bit and then it's come right back

I have heard that mixing baking soda with water is supposed to work wonders. The doctor also told me that Maylox is a liquid that should work well also.

Sit yourself up. lying flat alows acid to come back up since the closing valve is relaxed.
If you cant sleep slightly propped up, just sit up for a few minutes and drink some water and give it a minute to settle before lying back down
