No, just learn what types of foods cause the most grief and avoid them.
Also, what time of the day you're eating. Avoid late night snacks.
To beat heartburn quick, put a tablespoon of baking soda into an ice cold glass of water. Stir it up good and chug it down. It'll take a little getting used to it, but then walk around some for a couple of minutes and you'll have a good burp as all that gas in your stomach is neutralized.
Nothing better and quicker.

A number of different factors may contribute to LES malfunction with its consequent gastroesophageal acid reflux:
• The eating of large meals that distend the stomach can cause the LES to open inappropriately.
• Lying down within two to three hours of eating can cause the LES to open.
• Obesity, pregnancy, and tight clothing can impair the ability of the LES to stay closed by putting pressure on the abdomen.
• Certain drugs, notably nicotine, alcohol, diazepam (Valium), meperidine (Demerol), theophylline, morphine, prostaglandins, calcium channel blockers, nitrate heart medications, anticholinergic and adrenergic drugs (drugs that limit nerve reactions), including dopamine, can relax the LES.
• Progesterone is thought to relax the LES.
• Greasy foods and some other foods such as chocolate, coffee, and peppermint can relax the LES.
• Paralysis and scleroderma can cause the LES to malfunction.
• Hiatus hernia may also cause heartburn according to some gastroenterologists. (Hiatus hernia is a protrusion of part of the stomach through the diaphragm to a position next to the esophagus.). Prevention, as outlined below, is a primary feature for heartburn management in alternative medicine and traditional medicine. Dietary adjustments can eliminate many causes of heartburn. Herbal remedies include bananas, aloe vera gel, chamomile (Matricaria recutita), ginger (Zingiber officinale), and citrus juices, but there is little agreement here. For example, ginger, which seems to help some people, is claimed by other practitioners to cause heartburn and is thought to relax the LES. There are also many recommendations to avoid citrus juices, which are themselves acidic. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) can help relieve the symptoms of heartburn by reestablishing balance in the acid output of the stomach. Several homeopathic remedies are useful in treating heartburn symptoms. Among those most often recommended are Nux vomica, Carbo vegetabilis, and Arsenicum album. Acupressure and acupuncture may also be helpful in treating heartburn. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an inexpensive alternative to use as an antacid. It reduces esophageal acidity immediately, but its effect is not long-lasting and should not be used by people on sodium-restricted diets.

Answer 5

If you are getting heartburn with everything that you are eating then the best advice would be to consult a doctor. There are medications out for this type of problem. Prevacid, Nexium, Prilosec,etc. The longer you wait the more damage you will do to your esophagas.

Answer 6

I think you have Acid Reflux. You should get some Prilosec (over the counter) then see a doctor for a better more permanent solution. Over time the acid can damage your throat and esophogus.
