Man... a midnight snack of Doritos was a really bad call... two Alka Seltzers and a Pepcid later and my heartburn has almost (*burp*) abated. Damn those tempting chips and their deadly powdery coating!

Something strange about that whole acid thing.

I have a weird acid thingie too, and many of the symptoms are like yours.

My problem is certain citrus fruits, and fats.
In the early stages of it being broken down, they cause my stomach to start producing too much acid. I take medicine twice a day and it stops it, for the most part, but I still cannot take too much fat in at once (but luckily, I can have all the citrus juice’s I want, it stops those good!).

However, if I eat one of those Pepcid things before I partake in the evil stuff? Smooth sailing. The key for me is to eat one at least 10 minutes before heading down the trail.

Again, exactly like me, I take the first pill 5-10 min before breakfast, as prescribed by a doctor (and it tides over until lunch) and the second pill 5-10 min before dinner.

However, I do not believe you have this (maybe something similar), because after fat, the biggest cause of the problem is from caffeine (but the pills do not really seem to help with caffeine at all). Even if I over dose on the medicine I cannot have more than two caffeine drinks a day or it causes serious trouble and I end up throwing up.

Luckily, I was never a huge chocolate fan to begin with.
