do you have any baking soda? If so put about a Tablespoon in about 6 oz of water and drink it.
The baking soda will do it, so will Gravol, or motion sickness pills and also Eno. Sometimes just a glass of fizzy soda will do the trick, like ginger ale. Ginger tea is also good.
Whatever you do, do not take a tablespoon of baking soda with water. Taking this dose can cause serious stomach problems......your stomach can blow up. The dose you should take is 1/8 tsp or 1/4 tsp. with 8 oz glass of water. Taking 1 tsp raw apple cider and 1/8 tsp w/ 8 oz glass of water is also helpful for indigestion.

ginger root or dried ginger or (real) ginger ale. unfortunately, coca cola has something in it that can help including the bubbles as long as it is used as occasional medicine to imbibed daily as a drink.
if this is a recurrent problem, when are you going to look at real help for the causes and conditions of it? instead of a band aid like tums?
what are you eating?
what exercise are you getting daily?
what RELAXATION TECHNIQUES are you practicing twice daily 20 minutes each session?
Ginger capsules a bit before you eat or a cup of ginger tea after you eat are excellent. Also peppermint tea is a great remedy for indigestion. Good Luck!
