anything spicey will trigger heart burns and even fat of anyform may it be cheese or too much oily stuff or deep-fried eatables will trigger it.so limit ur intake of spices and heavy fats.

Did you take omeprazole? My doctor prescribed me that medicine and I had to take it for the whole 30 days, strictly. You should not miss one day. I also had chronic heartburn. After I finished taking the medicines, my condition has greatly diminished. Aside from that my doctor warned me not to lie down until AFTER two hours of taking a meal. You should also not eat large meals and even miss one. The other medicines you mentioned such as rolaids, tums, mylanta, etc., did not work at all anymore with me. It has been six months already and I hope I am cured for at least a long time, hopefully. I hope you also get your relief soon. Why not ask your doctor? It has helped me a great deal instead of taking those antacids over the counter.

I know how you feel I hate having heartburn I would have it so bad it would make me throw up. Usually a roll of rolaids or tums sometimes helped. My dad took prilosec he said they really didn't work for him either..Have you heard of Nexium heart burn relief? Have you talked to your doctor about combining 2 medications like Nexium and another one that both combined might be stronger and work? Well here is a link I hope that you will take the time to look at it just might be the thing to help you out. http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkxSJs.xGQY0AalhXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE5c2hlcmx2BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNARjb2xvA3NrMQR2dGlkA0gwMTFfMTk5BGwDV1Mx/SIG=12l0he9qv/EXP=1190003977/**http%3a//www.premiermexicanpharmacies.com/acidrefluxmedication.html Well, hope this works for you.Good day.

First, go to your doctor. It could be ulcers. Some ulcers are caused by something that can be eliminated by anti-biotics. Second, try to figure out if its food. Or how close you are to going to bed. I eliminated my heartburn by quitting my job, not eating tomatoes, and not eating for 4 hours before going to bed. But I've known people who took anti-biotics and eliminated it. I took the test and I didn't have whatever it is that must be killed with pills. Take care and hope this helps.
