Does anyone know any natural heartburn relief ?

Cut back on carbs, no sugar or bread. And figure out what you are worried about.

Yep.

Sometimes I mix it up. I will take about ounce of apple cider vinegar instead.

Some heartburn is a result of not enough acid in you stomach to process the food.

Other times, it's too much acid and you need baking soda.

It's always, one or the other and you learn to tell which one after awhile. Usually symptoms go away or diminish within the hour.

Stay away from prescription heartburn medication. Using it, especially frequently will make the problems worse.

Reflux: Too Much or Not Enough Stomach Acid?
[link to brandonlagreca.com (secure)]

Acetic acid acts as a buffer. It prevents the pH of the vinegar/stomach acid solvent system from going too low or too high. It really doesn't help acid reflux much but it does help hyperacidity, which is a separate problem that can exacerbate reflux.

Calcium carbonate is the best treatment for acute episodes of acid reflux. Tums is 99% calcium carbonate and 1% flavors and filler. It tastes chalky because it's made from chalk, so skip the middle man and eat 500 mg of powdered chalk.

a red apple cures it

Do you eat a lot of carbs? That can cause excess acid.
The other cause might be H. Pylori.

Oh I don't doubt that it would work...I would just have to really strap my balls on to try consuming it.

TUMS

Eat hot peppers...not kidding.

Remember to fast for a day and to have all other heartburn medications out of your system before taking Mastic Gum.

They are capsules containing pharmaceutical grade Pistacia lentiscus powder (Mastic Gum). Not a paste lol

Slippery Elm Bark tea.

Idiot! You took the jab.

It gets bad after 7-8 months. Eat very light meals, lots of water, sleep with head elevated.

Sorry you are suffering, it will be over soon!

Do NOT eat before bed. Try to eat before you take a walk or do something where you will be standing or walking for a while, after eating. Small meals. Digestive enzymes might help.

Baking soda has always worked for everyone in our family. Maybe you didn't use enough baking soda.

Rosemary thee may help

Baking soda and water should work FINE.

Mylanta might help. I don't know what you mean by natural. Pepcid AC is perfectly safe to take during pregnancy.

Slippery Elm - you can guy the powder at a health food store ...about half a teaspoon in 8 oz hot water is supposed to work....I've heard it's safe but...

whatever you consider "natural" might be more dangerous than a benign TUMS. So don't try to be too "natural."

The only remedy that really wotrks is homemade yogurt made from organic full fat milk. I suffered from heartburn acid reflux for nearly 20 years , been on all sorts of meds, and NOTHING worked! Ok, some meds reduced the discomfort temporarily, that's all.
So, I found out by pure chance that homemade yogurt is the answer. You need best milk you can afford, and half a cup white natural organic yougurt to add to is.
Boil the milk, but only till bubbles start appear and skin forms on the top. (Before boiling milk add a little water so it wont burn.) After it is boiled, put it aside for about 20 minutes to cool down a little, and then pour it into a plastic bawl that has cover. Add the yogurt. Mix it well with a spoon. Put cover on top and wrap the bowl in a towel and place it in a warm place, in a room that is not cold. I leave mine overnight. By the morning you will have thick creamy and decious yogurt. Keep in in the fridge, and eat a bowl every day, best time is at bed-time.
Also, try to drink at least 5 glasses of water a day as that will help with heartburn too.

Berg has several vids on this.

However I suggest you water down the apple cider vinegar with six oz water, swallow it down, then rinse. The acid is not good for your teeth even if it is good for your eating.


You can take poison pharma's but that is not the solution. I took anti-acids for years; not anymore, not for years and years, and I'm a very old man.


And I ain't perfect now, but I do do things like cleanses and fasting, digestive pills if I do get acid reflux (like maybe twice a year now), and ACV now and then.

I will give you a list of all the things that trigger it

Onions
Garlic
Caffeine, coffee, green or black tea
Alcohol
Dairy and milk products
Chocolate
Wheat/gluten/oats/rye/barley
Lentils
Cashews
Baking powder
Phosphoric acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid ingredients (usually in fruity or sugary drinks/mixes)
Bananas and strawberries, and also watermelon - depends on if you eat these fruits on top of other foods in your stomach. Food combining done wrong can really enrage the acid in your gut. Orange juice can also have this effect. This is why I only consume most fruit on an empty stomach. Apple and lemon and lime are the exceptions.

There is also acid rebound that you get when you take Calcium carbonate chewable antacids like Tums. What happens is the Tums will reduce your stomach acid, and your stomach will respond by producing extra.

There are other foods that can cause acid problems, but basically you just have to completely change what you're taking in. There's a good chance your body doesn't like what you're putting in your stomach, and it doesn't want to digest it, this will cause it to create more and more acid.

Get some DGL tablets and also some nux vomica pellets from Hylands. You can find both of these on Amazon for not much money. The chewables will coat your stomach and protect it from the acid, and the pellets will balance out your system and stop the problem pretty quickly.

Another stopgap measure is to put just the smallest amount of baking soda in a little bit of water and combine, take sips of this until your stomach comes down. Also make sure that you sip on water frequently.

Oh, another offender is things like pasta sauces.

It would really help if you happen to know your blood type, because then you can look up the blood type diet list online and see what foods you should definitely be avoiding. Also, as recommended, look up food combining rules. Try to find an elimination diet and also the low AGE diet, these 2 should help. I've been dealing with this for a very long time myself and have finally found ways to manage it well.

Whatever you do, avoid taking those acid reducer medications, they just mess everything up.

Milk is acid forming and is probably causing you to have heart burn or making it worse.

Put a few drops of peppermint extract into a bottle of Coke.

Take a couple of sips as required. Works like a charm.

Forgot to add..

Be careful using soda whilst pregnant. It can send your BP sky high, but then you already know that CT!

Divorce.

You could try Ajwain seed.


Happy baybay, btw:)

Lol, I'll definitely look into it... had no clue but makes sense.

baking soda

Stop eating meat. Eat more fruits and veggies.

ACV, like the vast majority of fruits and vegetables, is indeed very acidic when you consume it. However once ACV is inside your body and you metabolize it, ACV promotes alkalinity. This is due to the metabolic and chemical processes which take place to break down and digest ACV.😉

Ayurveda distinguishes these foods based on the total dimension of human existence.

What is Rajasic Food?
Rajasic foods are the ones that have a stimulating effect on the mind and body. They stimulate motivation and create desires.

According to Ayurveda, it is believed that people who can't stay still or are always moving are more drawn to Rajasic food. This restlessness happens because either they are stuck in the past or think too much about the future.

Rajasic Food Effect on the body
They stimulate aggression, passion, fire, imbalance of emotion, energy, alter the consciousness, and create depression.

Example of Rajasic Foods
Fish, eggs, and chicken, all whole pulses and dals (not sprouted), hot spices like chilies and pepper, salt, brinjal (eggplant), onion, garlic, radish, tea, coffee, aerated drinks, and chocolate, etc. It contains more oil and spices compared to satvik food.

SUGGESTED INTAKE- Rajasic foods should not be consumed daily, they should be taken occasionally.

TASTE-Rajasic foods are bitter, sour, salty, pungent, hot and dry.

These foods don’t harm you but they don’t benefit you either.


What Is Tamasic Food?
Tamasic foods give us the desire to stop, slow down, and rest. They put you in a phase where you want to do a particular task but something sucks your energy and you no more feel like doing it. For instance- You are willing to wake up early in the morning but you don’t because laziness hits.

According to Ayurveda, it is believed that Tamasic food slows down mind functionality. An individual consuming Tamasic food is likely to be lazy. This generates emotions like insecurity, jealousy and will regularly have mood swings. A Tamasic person loses calmness and may have longer sleeping cycles than usual.

Tamasic Food Effect on the body
Tamasic foods have a dulling effect on the mind, lower our resistance to disease, cloud the mind, and promote negative emotions. They block the flow of energy and produce harmful toxins.

SUGGESTED INTAKE- If you wish to stay light, these foods should be limited.

Example of Tamasic foods
Fast food, fried foods, frozen and canned foods, microwaved foods, processed foods, stale food, alcohol, drugs, chemicals, mushrooms, margarine, red meat, beef, sausages, bacon, and ham.

These foods are considered to be highly harmful to the body, mind, and soul.

Emotions/Feelings associated with Rajasic and Tamasic foods
In addition to the information provided above, here are emotions that get stimulated on consuming Rajasic and Tamasic food. Clearly, Tamasic food should be kept minimum in the diet.

What is the Sattvic diet and which foods come under it?
Sattva is the third guna which means 'essence'. Sattva is the attribute of goodness, purity, balance, harmony, positivity, radiance, serenity, and peace. Sattvic diet (also called yoga diet) is the one based on 'ahimsa'. Sattvic food keeps your soul clean and the body healthy.

EXAMPLES OF SATTVIC FOOD

Fresh fruits

Fresh vegetables

Nuts and seeds

Sprouts

Butter

Coconut oil

Olive oil

Sesame oil

Ghee




TLDR : Your diet sucks. Stop eating Tamasic foods.

We delete it with plain water
