Dude, I'm coming off some bad acid, myself! ;)
Seriously, though, I don't advertise products on this website, but, as long as it's a common stomach upset or heartburn, virtually any over-the-counter (i.e., non-prescription) medication will work. You can also take baking SODA (*not* baking POWDER, although you *could* use powder, but it's not as good as soda!), by following the package instructions, but, be forewarned, that the "base" soda may react violently with the excess "acid" in your stomach, causing even worse pain, if not other things that I won't bother to mention on an otherwise "polite" website! ;)
But, if you are experiencing unusual symptoms, then you might want to see a doctor, as it could be anything from an intestinal blockage, ulcer, appendix, etc, etc, etc.

In terms of medication, try something like Prilosec. It's over the counter, but it used to be prescription. I have acid reflux disease and my insurance company won't cover prescription strength antacid because of what is available over the counter, so this is what I take and it works really well...better than the prescription strength stuff in my opinion.
You might also try drinking milk, as this will coat your stomach. Water helps as well, but it doesn't coat your stomach.
Hope this helps!

I'm a big fan of Pepcid Complete. It's expensive, but it stops acid immediately and keeps it away for hours.

If it is just bad acid ... I would try zantac but you might want to check with a doctor to be sure it's bad acid.

This is a natural program that you can try to cure your acid reflux http://acidreflux.toptips.org
Acid reflux disease, also known as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs due to the coexistence of several medical and lifestyle conditions. Physiological factors that trigger GERD include lower esophageal sphincter (LES) hypotonia (the gradual weakening of the LES), along with retrograde flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, and the level of sensitivity of the esophageal mucus to the reflux content.

I'm guessing those Pepto commercials haven't made a very good impression on you, huh?
