    Prilosec is a good one and I know that it's not at the store but can you call your dr tomorrow and ask for some Nexium?

    Thanks. I'll check out the prilosec. I'm going to give it a few days and see if it persists. I have had one time episodes of heartburn earlier but this is the worst its been and the first time its come 2 times in 24 hrs. So if it keeps coming I'll call the doc.

    Chewing gum is the only thing that helps mine. It really works!

    I take tums and it helps me, but my dh used to have really bad heartburn and he swears by Prilosec, he says he cured his heartburn.

    I needed a prescription for Aciphex because mine was so bad I couldn't breathe at night.  It helped a ton.  I also ate tums like candy.

    I just posted on the anti-Tum post above.

    Try eating a handful of plain whole almonds.  My co-worker swears by it. I didn't get the heart burn until the past month or so and they have actually worked for me. Plus you don't get that god awful after taste that you get with Tums!

     

    Good luck!

    You can get Prilosec (and generic) over the counter. You may want to try Zantac or Pepcid (or there generics) first. They kick in in about 30 min. Prilosec is only for severe heartburn and can take several days to start to work.
