Heartburn is usually wrongfully thought to be a condition of too little acid in the stomach so people start taking antacids wich is the absolute WRONG thing to do.
Heartburn is result of too little acid in the stomach and therefore the foods that you ingest cannot be digested efficiently. This may sound strange but it works. I have found that taking a teaspoon or a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar works. Know that this is just a quick fix to relieve your symtpoms and alkalize your body. If you want long term results you need to change your diet. You are ingesting too much meat, dairy , processed foods, sugar,etc.. Try eating whole foods, such as vegetables, fruit, whole grains and stay away from caffeine and fried foods.

I suffer from severe heartburn as well. The first answer would be my answer too for a 'quick fix'. But go to a docter to get the perscription Nexium. Small purple capsules that really work. But be prepared for some side effects, such as headache. I'd rather have a pounding headache though than the pain my heartburn causes. Good Luck.

Aloe Vera Juice. It can be found at any health food store. If you take it every day, it acts a preventative measure also. Also, eat small meals, don't lie down right after eating, avoid caffeine, tea and other acidy foods.
In reqards to the above comment on Nexium..I too had the headache and also stomach cramps that resulted from the Nexium. My doctor switched me to Protonix, it helped a lot.

A glass of milk will work, but it might take up to 30 minutes.

i second the vinegar, but have recently stumbled upon this info
INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food,
relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
