I've had painful acid reflux symptoms problem over 4 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site
( http://best-acid-reflux-cure.blogspot.com ), that my life changed completely. I'm feeling so much better now and all of my
symptoms are totally gone. I had a big problem with heartburn. I'm happy to say that is no longer MY problem. As far as I'm
concerned, I am totally cured and it only took about 48 hours from start to finish.

Oh boy I got heartburn EVERY day when I was pregnant so I totally know how you feel! It's caused by all that extra progestrone the placenta produces. Now of course consult your OBGYN first but my doc said I could take tums or any over-the-counter antacid that contains calcium but not ones that contain aluminum or aspirin or are high in sodium. If you don't want to take tums here are some other ideas: -Avoid chocolate; acidic foods like citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, mustard, and vinegar; processed meats; mint products; and spicy, highly seasoned, fried, or fatty foods -Don't eat big meals. Instead, eat several small meals throughout the day. Take your time eating and chew thoroughly. -Avoid drinking large quantities of fluids during meals -Try chewing gum after eating. Chewing gum stimulates your salivary glands, and saliva can help neutralize acid. -Don't eat close to bedtime. Give yourself two to three hours to digest before you lie down -Sleep propped up with several pillows or a wedge. Elevating your upper body will help keep your stomach acids where they belong and will aid your digestion. Feel better soon!

Answer 5

Things that work for me and others I know:
1. chamomile tea (steep 1 tablespoon in 1 cup water covered for 15 minutes) sipped throughout the day;
2. tea made from anise/fennel/dill seeds (1 teaspoon ground steeped in 1 cup of water for 15 minutes);
3. a remedy from Traditional medicinals called "Throat Coat" is actually wonderful for heartburn because it has soothing slippery elm in it;
4: 2 acidophilus capsules taken 30 minutes after eating

Answer 6

How about non-prescription pills? Cemetidine tablets, Ranitidine tablets, OTC Zantac, Maalox liquid, Rollaids, Tums, a teaspoon of baking soda in water, etc. Ask any druggist for help in the OTC medications. If this is a recurrent problem, you probably should see a Doctor as you may have gastric reflux disease which can damage your esophagus and stomach leading to really serious problems.

Answer 7

Don't eat too close to bedtime. Maybe be done by about 6pm. Um, lose a little weight? Or if not weight, firm up the middle sum? It won't take long to lose about 10 pounds, about 2 wks. or alittle more.

I cut back on coffee, and def. fatty foods, esp. before bed.

Answer 8

Hi D

Here are answer you need.

Cause
As heartburn is an acid condition of the system, it is necessary to go on a complete cleansing program to clean out the system. Proper foods, proper eating habits, and effective elimination are very important. A cure is effected only with a complete change of living habits. Be sure to cleanse the body of toxins including colon, liver, and kidney cleanses.

Herbal Aids
1.General Instructions: Prompt and temporary relief may be given for heartburn with cramp bark, ginger, wild yam, etc. Massaging tincture of lobelia externally into the area and taking two or three drops regularly internally is often sufficient.

2.Slippery Elm: Chew the bark of slippery elm.

3.See formula using wood betony, rosemary, scullcap and yarrow.

4.Indigestion, Heartburn, Flatulence, Stomach Pains: See formula using centaury, agrimony, barberry, calumba and raspberry.

5.Heartburn During Pregnancy: Many women experience indigestion and heartburn, and sometimes gas, during pregnancy. This may be caused by the stomach having less room to do its work, nervous tension which inhibits good digestion, too many stomach acids, or a relaxed stomach, which allows foods to back up. Be sure that you do not take antacids during pregnancy. They further inhibit digestion, and they may cross over the placenta into the baby. To deal with these symptoms, Dr. Christopher first emphasized that we must chew our food. Many of us just gulp it down, and the large particles cause gas, fermentation, and pain. Chew well; even juices should be swished in the mouth to mix them with saliva and begin digestion. Don't drink with your meals; water or other liquids dilute the digestive fluids; you may, however, want to take broth or juices with the meal, but you should "chew" these, too. Increase your B-vitamin foods, including whole grains, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, yogurt, perhaps acidophilus. Don't smoke or drink tea or coffee; these irritate the stomach and increase heartburn. Eat small meals frequently; if you must be away from home, take juice, fruit and nuts with you to prevent your blood sugar going down and stomach acids overproducing. Papaya can aid digestion--fresh, dried or in tablets. Some women take tablets of activated charcoal to absorb gases in the system. Slippery elm gruel will alleviate heartburn and absorb gases and toxins.

6.Papaya: As mentioned above the Papaya is considered wonderful for digestive disturbances. The unripe fruit abounds in the enzyme papain which diminishes as the fruit ripens until there is a relatively small amount in the completely ripened fruit....Papain can digest about 35 times its weight of lean meat and 300 times its weight in egg albumin. This is considered important because these heavy proteins as well as those in beans, peas, nuts, and lentils are often difficult to digest and putrefy more quickly in the digestive tract causing gas, foul mouth taste, foul breath, constipation, sour stomach, and heartburn.

7.Wormwood: Its use as a digestive tonic is indeed one of the foremost applications of Wormwood. "Wormwood is above all a stomach medicine, being useful for indigestion, gastric pain and lack of appetite, as well as the related problems of heartburn and flatulence".


Testimonials
One herbalist, whenever he "pigs out on eggs or meat", brews a cup of Papaya leaf tea mixed with spearmint and camomile or if he's in a hurry (which, he mentions, is the worst cause of indigestion), he takes a Papaya-papain enzyme tablet. This removes the indigestion well.
