I also havelived with chronic heartburn for the last 30 years.

Baking soda does work for instant relief.
So does tums or rolaids.
Tums is better for you (100% calcium carbonate) where as rolaids has aluminum in them (or used too)

I have used all the others and they do work.

zantac
pepcid
and a couple others, over the counter formulas

they all work but you might have to take more than 1

once prilosec otc came out, i quickly tried it and it worked much better than the others and I only had to take 1 every 24 hours

if i eat a lot of garbage carbs like cakes, cookies chocolate, stuff like that, i might have to take 2, but i wont have heartburn for a long time

the only one i havent tried (and is just recently available in OTC) is nexium

but the prilosec seems to work great

I think carbs are the main culprit for me (and being overweight)

Because several years ago I did the low carb diet and instantly i noticed no heartburn and no gas

I could cheat and eat some cookies and bam i would feel bloated , have heartburn, and fart up a storm

I have no problem eating hot spicy foods, even jalapenos, they don't cause heartburn near as bad as sugar carbs and having a gut.
