Not to even mention mixing it with cereal..

Tagamet is great by the way, but if you have an ulcer or GERD its only going to supress the symptoms. You still need to see a doc.

yeah i hear what you're both saying, i did a search and it looks like milk has a ph of around 7 normally, which means it's neutral (although it said the lactose in milk turns into lactic acid as the milk goes off). i think the reason it helped me was because i would often get acid stomach when i skipped a meal and dosed up on coffee and lots of cigarettes (i nearly said fags, but that means something else in america i think, labrets comment would have been more helpful then). and the milk just gave the "battery acid" sometrhing to eat rather than my stomach lining. i don't know if i had GERT, but it was nasty shit all the same.
