How very odd.

[randomness]

I just had an attack of heartburn strong enough to wake me up.

This is irritating. I've never had this problem before.

The Rolaids seem to be helping.

They're both just some base material to neutralize the acid: having taken plenty of both, I see little difference. But, I'm assuming you're not nuts, so would you mind elaborating on how one is better than the other? I'd like to learn.

I generally like the ones that have anti-gas as well, but they're more expensive and usually less strong.

I haven't taken Rolaids in years, so perhaps the formula has changed. However, in my experience the rolaids had a horrible metallic tinge and didn't dissolve very well. They do work on the acid, but because they didn't dissolve as well it was far slower.

I'm now on a Prilosec regimen so I am blessedly not taking too many Tums anymore either.
