@mwarenski ..My husband and I both have acid reflex. Sometimes I can be sleeping at night and then all of a sudden I feel it coming up into my mouth. The one thing that we have really saw a difference when we take is papaya. You can get this at health food stores and I believe is much healthier, then Tums, Rolaids etc. My mother-in-law introduced it to us many years ago and we swear by it. You can take fives, six, seven tablets at a time.
