salt and milk:

[lnr]

didn't work. Was OK for half an hour or so but then had the nastiest bit of acidyness I've had in ages. Oh well. Rather better today. Oh yeah, and my wrist is almost entirely back to normal too, which is cool.

"Antacids, such as Alka-Seltzer, Maalox, Mylanta, Pepto-Bismol, Rolaids, and Riopan, are usually the first drugs recommended to relieve heartburn and other mild GERD symptoms. Many brands on the market use different combinations of three basic salts--magnesium, calcium, and aluminum--with hydroxide or bicarbonate ions to neutralize the acid in your stomach. Antacids, however, have side effects. Magnesium salt can lead to diarrhea, and aluminum salts can cause constipation. Aluminum and magnesium salts are often combined in a single product to balance these effects.

Calcium carbonate antacids, such as Tums, Titralac, and Alka-2, can also be a supplemental source of calcium. They can cause constipation as well."

I can't see how NaCl and milk would produce anything that would bind with the hydrogen (what causes the acid) to counter it. Probably it just caused a small lining on the stomach which acted as a temporary barrier.
