The best and fastest remedy is ginger. You can put fresh ginger the size of a stamp in a cup of warm water and drink it quickly. Many times the human body literally builds up a tolerance to medicines such as Tums.

One very simple remedy for heartburn is to mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a glass of cool water and drink it. Baking soda is a base which neutralizes an acid, the cause of heartburn. It's safe to drink. You can also try things Pepto Bismal, or Rolaids.

A glass of milk, and a piece of break would work pretty well if you dont have any spare tums available.
