   u can get pepcid over the counter it works pretty good for heart burn adn acid reflux , make sure it contains famotidine , if u have prilosec works good to but if u have acid reflux u need to see a doctor they can prescribe something for u that will help and moneter u , because acid reflux can lead to other conditions of the esophagus such as cancer . so if u r having heart burn more than 2 times a week u need to see a doc . i know i have acid reflux and i just had an egd done to see what damage has been done , another thing u want to do is watch what foods triger it adn try to avoid the triggers alot of pepole have problems with spicy food or greasy food but my reflux got so bad that milk would trigger it .

   I buy this bluish liquid in a bottle at Walmart. Have a look for it. it ain’t that Pepto bismul crap either.

   It works really well.

   Maalox is what the person above is talking about.

   Acid reflux is NOT the same as heartburn, and required a rx.

   Tums works well, or pepto pills that you swallow to not have to taste that crap!

   After dinner mints (like the round red and white ones) that many restaurants have on your way out have properties that can fight indigestion.

   A tablespoon of vinegar knocks mine out almost instantly. If you can’t stand straight vinegar, try pickle juice. It might take a little more of it though. This is a much healthier alternative to the common medicines for acid reflux. The vinegar has a way of neutralizing the acid that causes these symptoms.
