I started getting it several years ago and it became quite severe for a number of months. I tried all the over-the-counter stuff, but it was only temporary relief. Someone suggested that I cut out all carbonated beverages before going down the prescription medicine path. I did and about a week later - no heartburn - and have never had it again. But, I drink no soda whatsoever and will only have one beer in a day. FWIW.
Thanks. I will have to cut out the sodas. Thank you.
