I recently began getting heartburn and am looking for suggestions on gluten-free antacids. I don't have any in my house right now and am just looking for brands that others are using. Gotta get some relief!!

Pepto-Bismol! Or do you mean tablets?

Equate version of Zantac 150, it is gluten and dairy free according to Walmart. I was buying that one since it's only $4 for 65 tablets.

For quick relief, I bought a generic bottle of tums from Kroger I think, and it doesn't contain wheat. But if you need something that will last longer I'd second the generic Zantac.

Tums tablets are gluten-free. When you have nothing in the house remember that you can take a little baking soda. Arm and Hammer has directions on the box.

I take Zegrid daily with no problems. I take a higher dose so it's prescription, but over they sell it over the counter now too. This will also help heal any of the damage caused by the heartburn.

Heartburn can also be due to low stomach acid - do you take any digestive enzymes?

Tums are okay, but not the smoothie flavored ones. They're my go to staple.

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
