Pepcid Complete works great for me!
try peppermint cordial but dont dilute it or ginger
gaviscon liquid is the king......the lozenges are OK but leave your mouth dry
There are a number of non-pharmacological options that may help, but they are unlikely to remove all symptoms.

First ensure you are no more that your ideal weight. Second take small frequent meals rather than infrequent large ones. Don't eat last thing at night. Sleep with several pillows and elevate the head end of the bed with blocks.
a teaspoon of bicarbonate and water...really does the trick
Try New Era Biochemic Tissue/mineral Salts Remedy - No. 10 Nat Phos, available from most Health food shops including Holland and Barratt. Cost approx 锟?.95 for a tub of 450 tabs. Take 4 on the tongue - they just dissolve with saliva and are slightly sweet. Safe for babies and animals too - I use them on my pets and have 34 years experience in using them for myself and friends and family. Just ensure that you are not allergic or intollerant to lactose, milk/milk sugar. Keep a tub by your bed and I can guarantee they will see off your heartburn. You can take them every half hour to begin with. Heatburn is associated with acidity of the blood and rheumatic diseases. Nat Phos is a remedy that helps supply the body with what it lacks to overcome acidity of the blood and for digestive problems. Give it a try - definitely worth the money. Please don't take notice of a couple of silly answers above - heartburn is not funny and bananas will make it worse, as will fruit juice!!
