Featured Comments

There are no artificial flavors or dyes in the naturals, instead it was has carmine (a food colorant made from crushed bugs).

For those who keep Kosher or Halal I believe this flavor is non Kosher or Halal as it has bugs in it.
There are exceptions for medications that are needed, but since there are alternatives to Tums. In this case, you'd be correct.

Quote from OliveActivity9779 :
Did you have any negatives with the 42-day experiment?
I am on the fast relief plan as you mentioned earlier and sometimes have been advised to switch to 14-days with Prilosec when heart-burns are more.
Nope, there was no negatives. Just trying to remember every morning to take a pill was the only negative. Otherwise, within a week (maybe less), heartburn was gone! Unfortunately, it slowly came back a few months later.

For those talking about the "next step" in trying to reduce heartburn so that you don't have to keep popping Tums, please read up on the bad effects of the Proton Pump Inhibitors (ie Prilosic)... Yes, they work very well at taking care of the issue, but there are many potential long-term effects, and the moment you stop taking them, it will likely come back worse than ever.

H2 Blockers such as Famotidine (ie Pepcid) have worked wonders for me, I went the prescription route, but you build up a tolerance to them if you take them regularly for weeks, but by stopping and starting back up, or just taking them as needed when you are going to eat foods that give you bad heartburn (for me: Tomato based anything) that will give you exactly what you seek. I was prescribed 40mg tabs per meal, but this was an excessive dose by the doctor, and would lead to quick tolerance, so I split the pills before any tomato based meal, or if something gives me heartburn that I didn't expect, I pop a Tums, and a half-pill and the Tums takes me through the point when the pill starts to work.

Good luck, and the above applies to me, get your doctor's advice, and don't blindly follow that without reading up. Mine tried to push the PPI route very hard, but I said no, so he reluctantly prescribed the H2 blockers saying I'd be back in a year or less asking for the PPIs.. It's been 2 years, and the above works great for me. Oddly, there are even some scientific papers about Famotidine and Covid relief, but I would let time pass before putting any credence to that.

Agree - they taste terrible. Seriously the worst tums, generic or otherwise, I've ever had. So bad.

Thanks for the discussion on possible solutions. I had severe acid reflux and heartburn. I finally figured out that eating members of the nightshade family was what was causing it. I cut down on tomatoes and eliminated peppers and green salsa and it pretty much silver the problem.

However, earlier this week I was visiting a Doctor Who said he had the same issues but that his secretary had mentioned she used Heather's Tummy Fiber and it helped a lot. He started using it and he can eat whatever he wants not. I have ordered some but I have not received it yet so no comment on if it works. He was very clear that he was not s specialist in that area and that it was not a medical recommendation. More like folk medicine.

It is marketed as for irritable bowel syndrome which is not what either of us had. His secretary and he both warned me that they had thought the instructions were wrong when it suggested to start by taking 1/4 teaspoon and work your way up. They took a larger dose and suffered the consequences.

They have free shipping currently. It was 10% of earlier when I bought, no idea what it costs now. That was the same price as Amazon and the cheapest I could find. Heather's claimed to ship faster so I ordered from there. Once again, no idea if this actually works but green salsa is my favorite so I am trying it for month to see if it works.

I think you have to grind your own bugs to improve the taste. They don't come standard.

Quote from jon_laura5 :
A 14-day treatment of Prilosec will work wonders. 1 pill a day, 1st thing in the morning (15 or so mins before eating/coffee). You'll be able to have no fear eating things like pizza, pasta sauces, etc...for a few weeks with no problems.

My doctor once nonchalantly told ​me I should try a 42-day (3 boxes of 14-day treatment) treatment of Prilosec for longer term relief. It only seemed to last about 3-4 months of NO heartburn.

It's not cheap but also not too expensive either - buy it from Amazon - they sell the 3-box treatment
LSS I had a Dr put me on 30 days of omeprazole due to some latent GR. It was strange..... takes like a week to really start working then I noticed I'd be hungry quickly but also full quickly too which took a bit to realize, so in other words, more meals but smaller than usual. He strictly told me not more than 30 days - there are some long term impacts to omeprazole (if you google it, you'll find alot)

Ultimately while Tums works, it does so only temporarily and heartburn or GR is really about 3 phases - first, stop the acute heartburn, second let your esophagus heal, and third, try to refrain from heartburn-inducing things such that you won't have to be on meds. The first 2 phases are where you might use meds, just to let yourself heal.

Anyway, I typically buy the 3 pack of 14 day treatments and use that maybe twice a year.

But while we're on the subject, if you've ever heard of a product called Orange Burps [amazon.com], or Heartburn Free [amazon.com], these products are d-limonene that you take 1 capsule a day every other day for perhaps a week or 2. They are called orange burps because after you take them for awhile (on an empty stomach), you'll have citrusy burps.

I buy the supplement directly, actually this product here [amazon.com] (cheaper) and it works great. Might be worth a try for anyone here. The supplement versions like I take don't come with instructions for heartburn (no guidance at all really) so since it's about the same about of d-limonene (~1g or 1000mg) as Heartburn Free, I just follow dosing for that which says: 1 softgel a day every other day for 20 days, then as needed for occasional relief. Best if taken 30 mins before or 1 hour after meals, with water. (basically take on empty stomach)

For chronic sufferers, you'll learn that the typical or cliche heartburn triggers aren't necessarily for everyone, and each person can have individual triggers almost like you'd have an allergy. For me, pasta sauce, spicy stuff = no issue, but very sugary stuff, hot coffee and heavy dairy are triggers , but you'd do well to heed some other advise like not eating within 2-3 hours of bedtime, not overeating, and trying to sleep on your left side. Those are all extremely important IMHO.

Lastly, I am a seasonal allergy sufferer and noticed that while I'm on my allergy meds in the spring (typ only a couple months) that my heartburn was better (while not being on anything else). I asked my Dr if I was crazy and he said no, that histamines (albeit different ones) are responsible for stomach acid, so it's plausible that there could be some crossover from the allergy med (an antihistamine, I use allegra) to the heartburn.

It's not like I'm eating a spoonful every day... only when I experience acid reflux. I don't see any issue with using this method for the occasional stomach discomfort.
