Heartburn doesn’t really care if you have had a “Girl’s Night Out” planned for weeks, a date night with the hubby, or a family vacation- trust me on this one, I know it from repeated past experiences. Heartburn can strike any of us, and frequently, what we eat is the culprit. Sometimes, you really just want a little spice in your foods, especially when indulging in a local foodie hotspot… but if I’m eating heat, I want to be packing relief. Relief like PEPCID COMPLETE™ -because it does it’s job pretty fast to combat heartburn. I have received information, product and materials from McNeil Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co., the makers of PEPCID®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post.
While vacationing at the beach we enjoy lots of spicy, greasy, heavy foods- from gourmet hot dogs to boneless buffalo wings. We also like to eat every meal out because, well, I am on vacation and I don’t want to cook, do dishes (or worry about heartburn). We enjoyed a lighter breakfast with several cups of coffee, I devoured a Jalapeno Crunch Steakburger for lunch, and indulged in a barbeque chicken sandwich for dinner…just on day one. All in all it was a foodies dream come true- tasty foods in a tropical setting, but…..True to form my heartburn showed up, right a long with a hefty bill. The bill I couldn’t do anything about but pay the darn thing but I gave my PEPCID COMPLETE™ a workout and thankfully it came through taming the burn and stopping stomach acid before it ruined our family vacation and my gastronomic indulgence.
The burger is a Jalapeno Crunch Steakburger from Steak & Shake- something my husband has wanted to try for a VERY long time, but he and I both were afraid to because of the after effects. Just look at the amazing yummies!! Crunchy and spicy and oh my gosh. We couldn’t get enough.
Seasoned on our fiery hot grill and topped with Pepperjack cheese, fresh salsa, sliced jalapeños, crispy fried onions and chipotle mayo. Choose the Double Steakburger™ or Grilled Chicken sandwich!
A few days later, I was more in a mood for a hot dog. Not just a hot dog, but a hot dog.
Chicago Dog Freddy’s Style from Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
Topped with mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers, celery salt, tomato & pickle.
Yea, a hot dog. Covered in all kinds of goodies. Like heartburn waiting to happen, friends. That’s how we’ve always viewed things like this. Esophagus on fire. And yet, still we look at things like this and our mouths water.

Without Pepcid, I wouldn’t be able to eat half of the foods I love. I love spicy foods so much but I always get heartburn from them. I now take the Pepcid before I start eating to stop it before it starts.
CourtneyLynne says
Omg I absolutely love spicy foods and thankfully I don’t really get heart burn, however when I was preggo… Ughhhh… I swear everything I ate gave me such bad heart burn I felt like I was going to die lol..
Neha Sultan says
I love spicy food too and try to eat them whenever possible. But the heartburn after math is always is pain. I am glad to know pepcid work faster and effective for relief. Will check them out.
Ann Bacciaglia says
I love spicy foods. I always use Pepcid for my heartburn relief. I will have to try this hot dog.It looks so delicious.
Mimi "MimiCuteLips" Green says
I’m not a fan of spicy foods and thankfully I’ve never had heartburn. That pulled pork sandwich at the tops looks really good.
Lynndee says
I am not into spicy foods, but the husband is. Burgers with jalapenos? He would drool on that one, without a doubt.
Rosey says
Spicy hot foods are def. good until the heartburn kicks in. Glad to know Pepcid Complete would meet the challenge. 🙂
Uplifting Families says
All of this food looks delicious but your right heartburn could happen at any point. I had a horrible episode when we were at Sea World a few weeks ago. I was miserable for a few hours and had left my meds back at the hotel.
HilLesha says
I am not a fan of spicy foods much as I used to be, mostly because of heartburn. However, I will have to keep this brand in mind next time I eat anything spicy.
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I love spicy foods myself, but they don’t like me. I have used my share of Pepcid in the past, and I am sure I will be using more in the future.
Roch says
My uncle has very high stomach acids but still he does not stop eating food that are harmful for him. I’ll have him check Pepcid.com so he can learn what triggers heartburn and probably he can minimize the bad/spicy food he takes.
Jessica Simms says
Heartburn is the worst! It can quickly take the fun out of anything. I haven’t tried Pepcid before but will look into it the next time I have heartburn trouble.
Jeanine says
That looks amazing, Lately I’ve been all about spicy foods. I can’t get enough but then bring on heartburn, its crazy!
Chubskulit Rose says
With heartburn or not, I love this! This is my kind of thing to enjoy when hungry.
Ourfamilyworld says
I don’t suffer from heartburn, but this is good to know. This is good to keep in handy, just in case.
Joanne T Ferguson says
Thanks for your post, especially today! I love food hot and spicy, but it is never nice being out with friends and having heartburn! I have not tried Pepcid, but will be checking it out real soon!
Faye Wilkerson says
I was given Pepcid AC before it was over-the-counter. I was taking chemo and it was for the nausea I was suffering. Haven’t taken it for heartburn, but I’m glad it helps.
lisa @bitesforbabies says
I love the flavour of spicy food however, I just can’t handle the heat! I’ve tried to increase the amount of spice I use to get used to it but it just doesn’t work!
Echo says
I am lucky, in that I don’t suffer from heartburn, but I know that a lot of people do. I am glad that Pecid helped you and your husband.
Jeannette says
I adore spicy foods. In fact, my hubby jokes that I would add jalapenos to everything if I could but after I eat I always end up complaining of heartburn and saying I’ll never do it again! I need to give Pepcid a try!
lisa says
I love spicy food but my stomach and I rarely agree on this. I have such a terrible stomach that I know my triggers and what I can’t eat. Most of which I saw in these pictures!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I love Pepcid complete. My husband loves spicy food, and sometime he gets the most awful heartburn. Pepcid really helps him.
Christy Maurer says
I love Steak N Shake but not heartburn lol. I haven’t tried Pepcid, but I’ll have to check it out. I get hearburn from the stupidest things…like bananas!
