Anything that is high in chlorophyll should reduce acidic conditions. You can get chlorophyll capsules or liquids from a health food store. Also wheatgrass, barley grass and spirulina powders and tablets should help, very nutritive too. Basicaly any food that is green should reduce stomach acid. As said above, slippery elm and marshmallow should be very soothing from the pain. Or you could try and reduce your stress levels and treat the cause and not the symptoms. A good vitamin B complex supplement, St John's Wort liquid or tablets, chamomile, withania, oats, korean/panax ginseng, are all very helpful. These can be found at a herbalist with a dispensary.

I suffered from this for years, I was munching away on antacid tabs every night, gaviscon didn't work, I used to have to sleep sitting up. My partner made me see a GP, I was prescribed Lansoprazole (Zoton) this has been hugely effective & I now lead a normal life & can eat just about what I want. After a very uncomfortable Gastroscopy, I was diagnosed with Hiatus hernia, & had the early stages of an ulcer forming. My best advice is to see a GP.

Yes....avoid alcohol, drink milk before you go to bed or use something like Gavisgon....but see your GP for advice as if it happens constantly and it quite painful it could be a sign of stomache ulcers...shouldnt be the case but cheak it out just incase....

Buy Gaviscon-does the trick by closing off a tiny hole in the muscle which the acid travels through.
Also place some books under the top[ legs of your bed so that you are lying at a slight slant. good luck

Yes I do,so what I take is Rennies. The reason for my problem is Im overweight and if you have a big tum it pushes up the acid from your stomach and gives you heartburn. So lose some weight off your tum.Its hard, but I know you can do it!

I have a hiatus hernia and this is one of the symptom. You should ensure that the Head of your bed is a about 6 inches higher than the bottom. (the bet way for this is to put a brick under the legs of the bed). Anti acid tables like Maalox and SImeco (which are chewed) will help. If things get too bad you should see you doctor, he will most probably give you a gastroscopocy (a tube with a micro camera in put down to throat to see inside) and medication may be Losec (one every morning) or zantac.
Also avoid hot and spicy foods, pastries and fizzy drinks.
Hope this helps.

Raise the head of your bed 4-6 inches. Gravity works.
Also, try some DGL tablets and Iberogast.

Sounds like acid reflux or if severe, perhaps hiatus hernia. You can buy pharmaceuticals such as Gaviscon over the counter in a chemists or try mag phos which is homeopathic and sold in some chemists shops or in health food stores.
