Best Answer

Baking soda dissolved in water is the cheapest, easiest fix. Bicarbonate is the active ingredient you'll want to look for in whatever you purchase. It's a base (the opposite of an acid) that is found in human bodies. By ingesting it, you help negate the overly acidic environment in your stomach that causes heartburn. If you are on a low sodium diet for any reason, I would NOT recommend baking soda as a treatment option.
