A member asked:
I have had heartburn for a few hours and don't have any over-the-counter medicines. do you know of any home remedies that would take it away?

None you want to try: You can dissolve a tablespoon of baking soda in a 6-8 ounce glass of water and drink it (ick) for short term solution until you get to the store to have antacid on hand. You can also try drinking glass of milk (whole best, 2% ok) or some other yogurt / dairy (?Ice cream around?) in effort to dilute and coat stomach.
