    I've had heartburn issues for years, about the time I got into the mid 200's. I would have to chew Tums 3-4 times a day. My doctor suggested some of the over the counter acid preventers, so I tried it, and it's like magic. I take one Omeprazole (generic for Prilosec, I think) every other morning and I never ever have to chew tums anymore.
