I personally chew sugarless gum and take Maalox Advanced maximum strength. Four teaspoonsful work like a charm.

The only thing I have found that works for the intense chest pains to the little stomach upset is quality ice cream.
I know it sounds crazy, but for the last 5 years I have use good, quality ice cream, usually plain (vanilla, choc or straw). You know the ones with only 5 ingredients and no artificial stuff added.
I tried to get healthy ice cream, i.e…low fat, yogurt, even soy, but none worked at all, just good old fashion ice cream. Luckily I don’t need more than a few spoonfuls, about 1/4 cup or less. It has always worked right away and usually the heartburn doesn’t come back until the next day.
I have taken all kinds of heartburn medicines and most don’t work or stop working after 6 months. Also, have tried natural/herbal stuff which will stop working too.
I have been pretty good with diet which has help a lot so I don’t need ice cream everyday or evening.
Well, I hope this can work for others, so, go out there and get yourself some good, full fat, ice cream.
