Try mixing 1 or 2 teaspoons of "organic' apple cider vinegar with a little water and gulp it down. This should help tremendously with the heartburn. Plus, it has amazing healing properties. Bragg's is a great brand.

Doubling up on Prilosec
Hi, Vicki -
I had BAD heartburn after each round of chemo -- I was already taking over-the-counter Prilosec, and my doctor suggested that I simply take two pills each morning instead of one. I didn't know you could do that, but it worked really well.
I wouldn't do it without checking with your doctor first, but, if he thinks it would work for you, it's easy to find Prilosec at the drugstore.

My doctor prescribed Prilosec for me, it works and my insurance pays for it since it is still a prescription. You need to take it everday. I also became lactose intolerant while on chemo so be carefull with dairy0 -

after that I never had the severe heartburn again. Meanwhile I bought all the meds and now they sit on my bathroom counter, unopened. I did like Pepcid Complete. And I got that advice from a person in our boat who had success, too.0 -
thanks for the tipsS3 said:Pepcide AC and Zantac. No
Pepcide AC and Zantac. No citrus, including orange juice or tomatoes. Let your doc know because they can give more meds in your IV before the chemo yo help reduce it. I am up to 5 stomach meds before my chemos.
I should of thought baking soda. Seeing Dr. today so we should work out a plan of attack for the next one.0
