acid
First of all good job on the weight loss. As for the stomach acid, Gas-X isn't the right thing. It isn't an acid reducer. I have personally found that Zantac 150 has been very useful. Walmart even sells the Equate brand generic version ... Ranitidine. It's only about $4 for 65 tablets. If I ever have something where I may overeat a little or suspect I will have issues I take one of these and it works great.
If I really mess up or think I may need extra help then I will take two Gaviscon (actually again 100 chewable extra strength generic Equate version at about $4). Between these two products which are antacids I haven't had heartburn for 8 months.
Good Luck.
