Acid indigestion?

Last night I had a bowl of cereal with milk before I went to bed. I woke up a few hours later and regurgitated some food that burned a little, but I didn't vomit. I'm a little lactose intolerant but usually having a bowl of cereal doesn't cause any problems for me. Is this acid indigestion? Should I take an antacid for it? If so, what's the best antacid to take?

Answer:
I have a similar problem and have found a logical solution in homeopathic medicine. Licorice extract or papaya enzyme (both in chewable pill form) have been good, natural antacids that don't cost much at your local health food store, natural grocery store, or co-op. There are also long-term natural medications for lactose-induced heartburn and acid indigestion that you could research online or via the stores you would find these products at. Hope this helps!

PS: Prescription medicines and over-the-counter medications seldomly provide the relief you want for something like this.
Sounds like thats what you experienced. Try something like pepcid. Store brands work as well as brand names. Follow directions for dosage.
You might have acid reflux. Try an over-the-counter drug such as Nexium. If that doesn't help, visit your physician, so you can be prescribed an "industrial strength" acid reflux medication.
