Last night I had a horrible experience with acid reflux. This is the second time I've had stomach acid come up and burn my throat. I am currently taking Prilosec and my indigestion has been gone for weeks now . What can I take immediately to stop the burning in my throat whenever it occurs? I've tried water, milk, TUMS, crackers but nothing seems to help. My throat feels like someone has cleaned it with a bottle brush, it is very raw. I know the longer stomach acid stays in my throat the more damage it will do.

Greasy and spicy foods actually have very little to do with it. Your stomach can take those quite well. Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. https://tr.im/DefinitiveCureAcidReflux
The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.
You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here:

I was prescribed Lansoprazole which was brilliant but after two years of aching joints, extreme muscle pain which the doc gave me cortisone jags for, with some research I discovered the drug Lansoprazole was causing these rare side effects but it was I who diagnosed it NOT my doctor, I came off the drug 2 months ago, changed my diet and discovered just eating an apple stops any acid reflux, I eat an apple before bed, brilliant no acid, any time I feel the slightest sign of reflux I simply eat an apple.
Apple juice is not that good nor is anything else I have tried including honey at stopping reflux.

Acid reflux or heartburn is a significant problem for many of us. 60% of the population have symptoms of reflux (burning in the chest, indigestion, or regurgitation) and one-third have these symptoms weekly. It can impede the quality of our life, affect the enjoyment of our meals, and interrupt our daily activities.
With this video, I want to share some tips about how to take care of reflux symptoms. https://tr.im/RemediesForAcidReflux
Reflux is a chronic medical condition in which contents of the stomach backwash into the esophagus causing symptoms such as heartburn or regurgitation. It is usually caused by the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter, the valve between stomach and the esophagus, to close properly. That causes stomach contents to enter the esophagus, causing irritation leading to heartburn or indigestion.

Heartburn is usually triggered by eating large meals, fatty meals, spicy meals, alcohol, or eating close to the time when you go to bed. https://tr.im/TreatmentAcidReflux
For other people certain foods might cause a problem, tomato, onion, or citrus, for example. You can try to avoid the more common triggers or you can keep a food diary and figure out which items are your specific triggers. Once you know that you can't eat chocolate, for example, without getting heartburn you may choose to eliminate it or reduce the amount you consume. There are many notices and ways to treat your hearburn at home. Read more here:

For fast relief, take a teaspoonful of baking soda followed by a glass of water. Then ask your doctor if he will prescribe Nexium for you. It's true: that little purple pill does wonders!!
