I've ate tums like crazy since my early 20's, about two weeks after I stopped drinking my heartburn totally went away, haven't had it since Xmas time and the last two days it's back, I don't get it, thought I was rid of it, haven't done anything different in the last while that I can think of, hope it doesn't last.

How's your coffee consumption?

Sportdeck203

Zero,I tried coffee once when I was about 15 and couldn't even finish it, that's the last time I tried lol

Well, so much for Starbuckitis!

Stress?

Onions?

Tomatoes?

Garlic?

Orange juice?

Fast food?

Fried food?

(Going through my personal list of trigger foods!)

stress? Natural yoghurt helps at times.

There is an over the counter medicine, ask the pharmacist, you take it for 14 days and it should clear up so long as you don't rough up your stomach with alcohol, strong coffee, a lot of tomatoes or spicy stuff, whatever else gives you heartburn..

..even non-drinkers become more sensitive as they get older. There's certain foods I just can't eat because they give me issues

And don't lay down for three hours after eating. That is hard some times.

But be aware, you can overdose on Tums. And their effect doesn't even last that long.

Yeah I can't lay down after eating for a few hours or it's really bad, the only thing I know that makes it bad is orange juice, bread or eggs so I try to avoid those.

You may want to see a doctor just to make sure there isn't something else going on.

I have acid reflux and this is one of the symptoms.omeprazole OTC works great for me.

it would be wise to see a doctor to find out if there is anything more going on.
