Hello CALIFBLU, are we to assume that the 1/2 n 1/2, diet sodas are things that normally settle your stomach? SounRAB a bit like you are irritating your gastro tract further with the dairy and soda. For severe heartburn - good old H2O is a wonder at relieving many or most symptoms, if this is intermittent and not chronic. One of my favorite voices for alternative health medicine Dr. David Williams wrote years ago, that to help alleviate heartburn - drink a tall glass or two of water. I have imployed it often.
There did come a time however, when water wasn't enough, - gall bladder issues- but it is certainly worth considering.
I now have GERD. In order to stay off the PPI's, I take raw apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp 2x day) in some juice. It really helps to alkalize the stomach. Hope this was helpful.
You may consider streamlining your diet and approach to calming such a severe episode - don't fire all the bullets at once, try for a well aimed method or approach and see what happens.

Diet sodas or any kind of soda are the worse thing you can do for your heart burn. And just a quick thought, I certainly would leave the half and half alone, not a diet product. Rose4me is right, drink water, I keep water on my night stand, always drink water for heart burn, it helps neutralize that acid.
