Rennies are simply chalk tablets that absorb acid. If you had a non-toxic chalk from a kid's blackboard, that would cure you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were in a hard water area, like most of England, the tap water would contain limestone deposits which would absorb the acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del1812 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I get heartburn all the time. Don't even bother with the doctors anymore. All they do is give me rubbish tablets that aren't strong because I'm still young. Bugger youth, I want to go three days without feeling that annoying pain in my chest. It is much better now that I don't drink Cider as much. Surprised Milk didn't work. Works a treat for me every time. So much so that I always have a pint of it before a night out to ensure I don't get heartburn when chatting to some peroxide lass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wibble Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Sure it's heartburn?? Could be pancreatitis. If you are rolling around in agony in an hour or so, then it's pancreatitis. Greasy food can cause it, especially if you've just had a big weekend on the bevvy. Horrible thing to get and can be the end of you. Had 3 bouts of it before I changed the diet dramatically.

Jambo_Gaz Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Get down to Boots and get "omeprazole". I've had to use that for a couple of years now and it's the mutts. If you get a prescription of it then your sorted but it's about ?8 for 8 tablets but you only need one a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashell Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Go to the docs and tell him you get it all the time, they will put you on Lazoprozale which pretty much guarantees you will never get it again! I use lansoprazole regularly, every morning in fact and it works a treat. I stay away from fizzy juice most of the time and eat only certain foods but unfortunately my condition causes this bloomin awful reflux and heartburn to rear its ugly head quite often. Milk and most chalk based products you can buy are ok for a one off but if its a regular thing then just have a wee mention to your doc next time your in.
