Nevertheless, it’s worth the effort - especially where Heartburn is concerned, as there is a lot of great stuff out there on the Internet.
Tip #1
There are three different types of antacids with magnesium, calcium, and aluminum based products. Generally, doctors will tell you that calcium based antacids like Tums or Rolaids are not good for heartburn because they release gastrin, a chemical that can assist the release of acid. If you are having side effects like constipation or diarrhea it is probably due to a reaction from magnesium (causes diarrhea) or aluminum (causes constipation). Some individuals will rotate the use of these two to alleviate this problem.
Tip #2
Sometimes it is best to take the antacids up to an hour before eating, others while they are eating, and still others just after they finish. The goal is finding what the good time is to take it for you as everyone has a different timetable for the antacids to reach the stomach. If it reaches before the acid does then it doesn’t do you any good.
Tip #3

The doctor will start by making a small incision in the abdomen or some may choose to use a less invasive procedure called laparoscopy, a technique that uses several small punctured holes to view the stomach with small viewing devices. The doctor will then goes in and perform a procedure that could make a massive difference in a person’s life.
