Baking soda dissolved in water. Stops it almost instantly and makes you burp too!

If it's chronic see a doctor and get evaluated to see if you have G.E.R.D. This isn't anything to fool around with. You could end up with cancer of the Esophagus and that is often fatal. I have been taking prescription forms of Pepcid and Prilosec for years and they keep things in check nicely. It is probably less expensive to get a prescription than buying the over-the-counter Pepcids and Prilosecs that are available now.

To make this on-topic, if you don't have heartburn you will be more comfortable when playing your bass.

Aciphex worked best for me. Some people love Prilosec. I always just keep a bottle of ultimate-strength Mylanta handy.

I've been on Zantac for a while and it has worked quite well. Mine is the prescription strength and $4 at my pharmacy.

going to have to try that.
Pepsid AC is great expensive but one lasts the whole day.

Prilosec OTC works but not as well

Tums do nothing for me anymore.


I only get it at work or after a long night of drinking caused by work lol.
Start working out, stop drinking so much cheap whisky and beer, and stop eating crap is what my doc told me.

He gave me this one stuff you mix with water that absolutely destroyed any heartburn for days.

Corn starch and water works, and I;ve also heard vinegar works.

The 99cent store sells this stuff called Picot, that my girlfriend says works pretty well. She gets pretty bad heartburn.

I saw a thing on Food Network the other day saying that baking soda mixed with water is pretty much the same thing as most antacids.

Brioschi. Dissolves in water, like alka-seltzer, but is lemony.
