What's a good thing to stop my heart burn?

pepcid ac is really good, it stops it right away. tums is good too. i heard that chewing gum helps if there's nothing else...=o)

Answer 2

It largely depends on what is causing your heartburn. If it is an ulcer that is something you will want to talk to your doctor about because he/she can prescribe you the proper medication depending on the cause. If your talking about standard heartburn avoiding overeating along with spicy foods can help. Also using a base like tums will help to neutralize the acid in your stomach even though all tums are is baking soda with flavors. Your best bet is to use something like pepcid, which actually decreases the production of stomach acid, before you eat or drink something which causes the onset of symptoms.

Answer 4

for non-pharma, fruits are good, esp. apples and banana. avoid dosing with caffeine and acidic stuffs.

drugs, it depends. heartburn is almost often caused by GERD, where your gastric contents goes back to your esophagus and the acid creates the symptom (heartburn). to stop it, antacids do well (TUMS, Maalox, etc.). to hit the cause (GERD), Nexium and/or Pantoloc proves well, in paper and in testimonies...
