Every time I get heartburn, Rolaids is all I use. The pain is so intense and Rolaids usually doesn't take that long to kick in. I would definitely endorse Rolaids as a great treatment for severe heartburn.

I have had the worst heartburn for some time. Even when I would change the diet it would not change anything. This has caused me significant discomfort for a long time. I thought there was no real difference between the leading antacids, so I thought Rolaids was the same as all of the rest. Someone told me I needed to try Rolaids. I didn't think it would help but decided to give Rolaids a try. Not only did Rolaids greatly reduce my pain but Rolaids acting pretty fast too. I don't know if I am a special case but the difference Rolaids had for my heartburn compared to others was quite a big difference.
