what do you take for heartburn?

I've been managing my heartburn with tums thus far, but it's just not cutting it anymore...any suggestions??

I'm still fortunate that extra strength tums works for me. I take 4 at a time when I have to.

so far 2 tums at bedtime when it's bad is helping.  Sometimes a glass of milk does the trick.

I take a lot of tums.  But if it is really extreme I take the italian special: one tablespoon of vinegar (red wine or white).  it works every single time!  Changes the Ph in your stomach.

Tums AND a big glass of milk work for me

I love my Prevacid!! I used to be on Prilosec but they told me it wasn't on the approved list. They had me try Zantac 25 twice a day, then Zantac 150 once a day. Both of those didn't even come close! So they finally told me Prevacid 24 hr was ok and I have been great since. I do take Tums when I need them or when I remember for the added calcium, but I prefer the Smoothies to the regular ones.

I have some sugar free chocolate syrup and I drink a warm cup of chocolate milk.

my sister ended up with Nexium (sp?) and walked with a bottle of Mylanta that she would swig.
