Yes; Riopan, or Riopan Plus. It's a liquid, and it's really good for occassional heartburn/acid reflux. You don't say how bad this is, so I don't know how much of this you need or want to know. So, take what you need, and reference the other info.
If you are experiencing symptoms regularly, or they're particularly troublesome, you need to see your family Dr. He can refer you to a good gastroenterologist, if that's what you need.
I know the feeling; It's awful. I started out using the Riopan, but it turned out I had GERD, and the treatment for that is very different from the treatment for occassional heartburn.
There are some things you can do to lessen the symptoms: Don't lie down right after a meal, don't go to bed on a full stomach, avoid foods that 'trigger' the heartburn...like fried, spicy, or foods that give you gas. Eat slowly, and eat several small meals a day, rather than 'wolfing' down three large ones.
I hope you only need the Riopan.

Pepcid or tagament. Tagament is great if you know what screws up you stomach. Sauce and beer get me all the time. I take a tagament about an hour before I eat and I am good to go for 12 hours.
