Well when my ulcer bothers me, I drink a glass of milk, it soothes the burning.
Ask your doctor, some over the counter remedys might interact adversely with what you are taking.
You might need protonix. I had a hole in my esophagas from acid and ulcers and protonix healed it ALL up. You will have to ask your Dr for a perscription. But it works really good. I have not had to take pepcid or nexium or anything after a week treatment of protonix (pill form).
My Mom always takes baking soda for heartburn.
