Firëfly 39 Posted June 23, 2013 I had to take Prilosec before my heartburn would go away. I'm glad you found something that works on yours -- it's a PIA to have heartburn. 1 newlife27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started taking my Lansoprazole again but it's not helping much. Tums seems to help most of the time, but I'd rather not rely on them. I *STILL* don't regret the surgery tho - I like getting full eating less than a girl! 4 DayByDay, Kami63, ElaineB and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chele H 427 Posted June 24, 2013 Tums help a lot, they are also a source for getting your Calcium. Tums is Calcium carbonate, sleevers need calcium citrate. I have also been reading a lot about rebound acid from Tums and that Gaviscon is a better option for quick relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
