Useful during a flare up of heartburn, try Silicol® gel. Silicol® gel is rich in silicic acid which coats the oesophagus, creating a protective layer which acts as a barrier against the strongly acidic contents of the stomach.
For a longer-term solution, try taking digestive bitters before your meals. Digestive bitters help to balance your stomach acid secretions (often the problem is too little stomach acid rather too much). Try having a small bitter salad before meals or a herbal tincture in some water if this is more convenient.
