Zantac is safe. Prescribed by my doctor. My heart burn has gotten so bad I had to leave work because I was in so much pain. I tried tums but it didnt help at all.

Tums never worked for me either. Try sucking on a lemon, or drink a glass of milk

Ask your doctor about something. Mine told me about an over the counter med that was safe but i ended up surviving off tums. Nothing else ever worked for me. Alot of people say really cold water helps or pepto, but i didnt see a difference with these. Good luck
