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

Soda just make it worst
I use to drink milk
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.
I have heart burn all the time n it drives me mad.i always drink milk n that works.
Sugarless gum works like a charm. Yogurt and milk are great too.
I was recommended Tahini (a middle eastern ingredient that they put in houmous, it’s like peanut butter but made with sesame seeds instead of peanuts) by my uncle.
Sometimes I get really really severe., acute heartburn, but a few spoonfuls of this Tahini and the relief is almost immediate. I just had a terrible attack for half an hour, before I remembered that I had some tahini in the cupboard and then it completely went away.
Sometimes milk works, especially for acid reflux, but not if the heartburn is to severe.
Baking soda!! Works faster than anything else that I’ve tried. It sounds gross but it will make it stop like yesterday!! Mix a teaspoon of it with a little bit of warm water and drink it. Soonyou’ll be belching away your heartburn!!
Baking soda/Bicarbonate of soda is the only thing that gets rid of it for me, I’m suffering right now and would love a teaspoon of it in a small glass of water but I’ve run out!!!!!
On a chemical and biological level, baking soda is by far your best method of relief.
Ive been suffering… nothing works.. milk vinegar baking soda.. bread… omg this is just painful
Something That Has Worked For Me Is Licorice. They Have It In Chewable Form At The Health Food Stores. You Can Also Try Nux Vomica, a Homeopathic Remedy.
Also, Rye bread works well!
I get heartburn 90% of the time. Even in the morning without eating anything yet, just a glass of water. Some ranging from mild to severe. Apple cider vinegar works great but sometimes I have to take other meds like Tums.
Next time, gonna try milk.
Got to work today had the worst heartburn of my life and no antacids with me. Popped in a piece of sugar free gum and my heartburn was gone within a minute.
Sooo fantastic.
I tried the baking soda trick last night and it tastes awful but within seconds I was belching but felt better within minutes
