Answers:
Baking soda works well. It neutralizes the acid that causes the burning. It will cause you to burp loud and long, but it works almost immediately. One caution though is that if you have had a lot to drink and eat and your stomach is full, it may cause you to throw up some of the food and drink in your stomach when you burp. It's still worth it. Just be aware that you could release more than just gas from your stomach. Health Question & Answer
