I used to get severe heartburn to the point where I thought that I might have to go to the hospital. Pepto worked for me, but only temporarily, I used to carry a bottle around with me...it was a fast fix. I went to the doctor and they gave me Prevacid, which worked wonders...for a while. It started to come back. The only surefire to get rid of heartburn is to cut whatever it is out of your diet that is causing it. It my case it was black and green tea. All of the extra acid ate away my esophogus and upper part of my stomach. It still drink tea, just in much smaller quantities.

If you're troubled by frequent indigestion or if food feels "heavy" on your stomach, consider taking some digestive enzymes with each meal. Double the recommended dose if you've eaten an especially large meal.Eat frequent small meals instead of one or two large ones; this will prevent excess production of stomach acid. Limit problem substances, such as coffee (including decaf), alcohol and fatty foods. A pleasant alternative to coffee after a meal is a cup of warm herbal tea--chamomile, ginger, peppermint, marshmallow, meadowsweet or slippery elm--which has the added benefit of relieving heartburn discomfort. Stay up at least three hours after eating your last meal or large snack before going to bed. Raising the head of your bed several inches will put gravity to use in preventing reflux during the night. Chewing gum can provide short-term heartburn relief by stimulating the production of saliva, which dilutes and flushes out stomach acid. Drinking a glass of lukewarm water after a meal may produce a similar effect.
