I have mild acid reflux (I assume? Never actually went to the doctor for it), I get pretty bad heartburn after eating a large meal and/or if I lie down soon after eating. Gets bad enough that it can actually prevent me from sleeping or concentrating on what I'm doing. I've found that the brand name drug Prepcid (not sure what the generic name is) works best for me. Weirdly, neither calcium carbonate (Tums) nor bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol) help very much with heartburn in my case, though my experience with the latter is limited since I don't take it very often.

Yeah I struggle with it from time to time, I had to stop consuming lemon/lime water because it kept on making my acid reflux much worse.
RIP. I still keep eating trigger foods (generally junk food).
Oof, it's hard to break bad habits.
