I've heard that eating a piece of bread can help neutralize the stomach acid, or crackers
It's the only thing that helps me, and for me it doesn't come back. When I use tums it comes back, plus I worry about tums giving me kidney stones that run in my fam. Maybe it depends on the person.
Pepcid is like heaven for me! I'm able to eat pretty much anything without having to worry about the miserable acid reflux.
