Listen — when I have it bad, I take a level tablespoon of baking soda mixed with a cup or more of water. Kills the pain INSTANTLY. Seriously — check your Arm & Hammer box to confirm that you can use it as an antacid. It’s my go-to for putting a QUICK stop to stomach acid pain.

Check my post, #120. I now avoid calcium-based antacids like the plague.
