I've been taking tums ( the chalky kind ) & don't find that it helps. my mother in law gave me two chewable tums last night & it worked instantly. gonna go to the store tonight to get some because they were actually really good compared to the originals & worked really well.
@twins0my, You're welcome! I hope it helps for you. It's my lifesaver. My heartburn got so bad that I would throw up from it. I only notice it now if I forget to take it.
