I had one every 3 years or so, progressively worse. Been 5 years since my last one after changing my lifestyle to drink more (so much more) water and stop taking Tums all the time.

Tums should be outlawed. The amount of damage those things do to stomach chemistry and excessive calcium uptake is crazy for something people eat like candy (and that they flavor like candy). They're like beating with a sledgehammer compared to a proton pump inhibitor.

I weaned myself off Tums and the instances of having to actually treat heartburn/gerd went down to a couple times a month at most.
