Aside from PPIs and H2 blockers, you can try organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. Be sure to shake up the bottle and start with 1 teaspoon in 4 ounces of water once a day. Slowly work up to 2 ounces in 10 ounces of water once a day. This not only helps with heartburn, it also helps to alkaline the blood which help to prevent the disease process and helps with weight loss.
Any antiacid will treat heartburn.
In order from weakest to strongest:
- tums
- OTC zantac, pepcid
- OTC prilosec, nexium, etc
- Rx prilosec, nexium, etc
