So a word about home remedies. For mild, I would say mild dyspeptic symptoms, you could try some tums, antacid tablets, or liquid antacids, Maalox, Mylanta, that type of thing. Or nowadays you can get those H2 blockers, like the Tagamet or the Pepcid over the counter and use them as directed. Or you can even get omeprazole, prilosec, or nexium over the counter, use them as directed. But definitely if your symptoms are prolonged two weeks, and this is in the absence of having those severe symptoms of bleeding or you can’t eat or you’re drastically losing weight, you should be seen by your physician.
