Pepcid A/C was always my best Road "Buddy"..I got Pizza. For some reason they put sausage on my pizza. I didn't notice until a while after I got home, so there is no going back.
Gonna be some serious acid reflux tonight!

WalMart brand just doesn't do it 4 me neither does Walgreens either..It's like 15 bucks for a box of 48 at Walmart.
They work for me as long as I remember to take one every day. Sometimes I double up if I go on an all night "bender" out in my "drinking shed".
How much is that DG stuff?
Tums are GARBAGE..One slight problem with taking an ant-acid. I take medication at night and taking an ant-acid with medication makes the medication ineffective. So that is a No Can Do.
But while we are on the topic of Acid-Reflux, Heartburn and medication....Nexium works pretty well.
The directions say take on pill per day for 14 days.
I learned from a doctor that you can actually take them as and when required.
They are a bit spendy but well worth the money.
If it is just minor acid stomach problems, I just take a few Tums.
that's funny, cuz i was on Nexium for a while, as a prescription, then the cost went up, so my doctor said get the OTC..One slight problem with taking an ant-acid. I take medication at night and taking an ant-acid with medication makes the medication ineffective. So that is a No Can Do.

i was in agony, they did not work, and back to the prescribed stuff, with a co-pay back then.
like @Uncle Birchy said, sometimes they work for some, and others they don't.
