Thank you, but daily isn't quite enough for me! Nexium works better, but the expense is crazy.
Not exactly the same thing, but Calcium in TUMS has always been a joke; calcium needs an ACIDIC environment to break down properly, and TUMS is an ANTI-ACID. You folks taking TUMS for your calcium have wasted your time.
Used to go to a now closed chinese restaurant years ago and really chow down on hot and spicy food, sweating, nose running, fiery stuff.
The restaurant would put a small bowl of vineagar by each setting. Slurping in a small teaspoon of the vineagar (kind of like blowing on a spoonful of soup, but in reverse) would kill the fires immediately.

Aloe vera reduces acidity in the gut. Cures ulcers as well, did mine. 2-3 T a day, with a pinch of turmeric or ginger, in a bit of juice. Aloe GEL, not juice. Took it for about 3 months. Felt relief within one or two days and continued until cure.
