| Just an FYI. I saw Tums at Home Plus yesterday. They are in the supplement section. They are about 10,000 won. |

If you have heartburn, you can drink a capful of any kind of vinegar. It neutralizes the acids pretty much right away.
Sure, it is not convenient to carry around a bottle of vinegar, but if you are home, it will work just as well, if not better than TUMS.
Thanks for the heads-up. |

| Baking Soda. 식소다. That's what your grandpa's dad did for an upset stomach. 300 won at the corner store, not 10,000 at Costco. |

| When you need Tums, you need Tums. Saw them at my Homeplus, too. |

I would have said 노루모.. Norumo-A.. It ain't Tums, no.
However... -_-.... Cross MISTER... I now have no choice but to sample your 라니콤. |

I use C-Trid.
There's a few brands of pretty good heartburn pills in Korean pharmacies. They should have Ranitidine as the active ingredient. Ranitidine is an acid inhibitor and is a far better solution than antacids (Tums).

Ranitidine is the active ingredient in 라니콤. I actually haven't tried them yet to be honest. I had a friend show me which ones to pick up to keep them on hand, but just haven't needed them yet. |

It works. Just mix it with water so you can bear it. |
