the problem with tums is that in neutralizing the stomach acid, it actually may encourage your body to produce more stomach acid, causing greater problems in the long term.

if it works for you in the long run, that's good. but if it doesn't, you may need to turn to a prescription medication such as nexium or prevacid.

I have Prevacid on hand, just in case.

while i haven't been diagnosed with GERD (i had h. pylori http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori bacteria in my stomach). I have to avoid ****** beer like canadian and blue.

prevacid works best for me losec was useless (made it worse).
