Hey BabyBoy
Here is the cause and some remedies to heal your condition.
Causes of Heartburn
The most common causes of heartburn are overeating, and eating meals that are predominantly acid-forming and abundant in unhealthy fats, spices, and commercially processed foods. Heartburn can also be caused by low levels of hydrochloric acid (HCl), deficiencies in the body’s production of enzymes, poor adrenal and/or spleen function, and/or diminished liver function due to toxicity. Hiatal hernia, stress, or smoking, can cause heartburn, as well.
In addition, food allergies lead to poor digestion which can also contribute to heartburn, as can combining too many different types of foods at the same meal. Heartburn can be brought on by drinking excess fluids during mealtime, eating too fast, or eating in a stressed environment. Heartburn can also be connected to constipation, similar to a backed up septic system. In this case, the body can have a difficult time digesting and processing the food coming in, if the previous meal is not going down and being eliminated properly.

Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: The essential oil of cardamon can relieve heartburn symptoms.
Diet: Avoid all commercially processed foods, spicy foods, sugars, refined carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, coffee and other caffeine products, chocolate, sodas, commercial non-herbal teas, alcohol, orange and grapefruit juice, tomato products, milk and dairy products, and foods containing peppermint and spearmint. Also have yourself screened for potential food allergies and sensitivities and avoid those foods for which you test positive.
Emphasize a diet rich in organic whole foods, especially organic fresh green vegetables and green vegetable drinks. Free-range organic meats and poultry, and wild-caught fish are also recommended. In addition, be sure to drink plenty of pure filtered water throughout the day.
Avoid overeating and eating meals late in the evening. As a general rule of thumb, in order to prevent and reverse heartburn symptoms, eat meals that are predominantly alkalizing in nature, especially green vegetables. (For more information about how to eat alkalizing foods, see pH.) Meals should ideally consist of generous portions of fresh leafy green salads, bare or lightly dressed, with an equally generous portion of lightly steamed vegetables and a fist sized portion of steamed, baked, broiled or carefully grilled protein. Organically produced foods, and carefully chosen oils, such as raw virgin coconut butter/oil, extra virgin olive oil and high lignan flax seed oil are your safest options. Avoid all fried foods, and all hydrogenated fats and oils. Choose raw, rather than roasted nuts and seeds, both in whole and butter form. Raw almond butter is a better option than peanut butter, and is a great snack when spread on apple slices.
Minimize your intake of both coffee and black tea, as well as alcoholic beverages. This is essential if heartburn is an issue.
Foods that can often quickly resolve heartburn problems are apples, raw cucumbers (peeled), brown rice, and walnuts. Sipping a glass of pure, filtered water with a couple of teaspoons of raw organic apple cider vinegar or baking soda (one teaspoon to eight ounces of water) can also quickly neutralize heartburn attacks.
Herbal Medicine: Useful herbs for heartburn include agrimony, aloe vera, angelica, fennel, garlic, gentian, goldenseal, licorice root, marshmallow root, parsley, and slippery elm.
Homeopathy:
Arsenicum album – for heartburn accompanied by anxiety, chills and thirst, abdominal cramping
Nux vomica – for heartburn caused by fats or sour foods and/or accompanied by feelings of irritability
Sulfur – for heartburn caused by overeating and/or accompanied by burping, late morning hunger, or early morning diarrhea.
Juice Therapy: Fresh squeezed cucumber juice can often quickly resolve heartburn symptoms.
Lifestyle: If you smoke, stop, and also avoid exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke. In addition, learn how to effectively cope with and manage stress. A regular exercise program is of the utmost importance as is a whole foods diet. Also avoid overeating and eating meals late in the evening. Allow at least 3 hours between meals, unless blood sugar problems are an issue, in which case, eating smaller frequent meals is an option.
Nutritional Supplements: The most useful nutritional supplements for treating and preventing heartburn are digestive enzymes (taken with every meal) and calcium carbonate (take 600 mg in liquid or chewable form every two to three hours until symptoms subside).
Probiotics such as acidophilus and Bifidobacteria, can also be helpful, as can fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and soil-based organisms. FOS is an all-natural carbohydrate microorganism that has been shown by researchers to serve as a fertilizing agent that enables Bifidobacteria to thrive in the large intestine, where it helps to protect against harmful bacteria.
Soil-based organisms are beneficial microbes found in soil. Taken as a supplement, they go to work to detoxify the gastrointestinal tract while eliminating fungi, molds, parasites, viruses, and yeasts. They also help to improve absorption of nutrients and boost both immune and overall cell function, including the production of RNA and DNA. In addition, they act as natural antioxidants.
Best of health to you

Heartburn No More has taken a little more than a decade to complete. During this period, Jeff Martin conducted detailed trials, experiments, and studies on heartburn, acid reflux, GERD, and digestive disorders.

Does Heartburn No More actually work?
Surprisingly, the steps and plans given in Heartburn No More actually work. The book has received a significantly high success rate of around 95 percent, which is more than what can be said about most other instant health remedy frauds in the market today. The treatment process given in the book has helped the author cure his condition himself, and it has done the same for several other people. The best part about the treatment given in this book is that it gives you nearly instant relief from heartburn and cures you of the disease within a very short span of time as well. However, the author is honest enough to note that the effectiveness of the treatment given in the book depends on the severity of a patient’s condition.
The effectiveness of the program outlined in the book probably comes from the author’s own personal experience with the condition and his decade-long search for a better cure. The book clearly reflects the thoroughness with which Jeff Martin has done his research. It provides extremely detailed information on heartburn and acid reflux, the current treatment programs being used and their flaws, and the treatment outlined by the author and its detailed working.
It is clearly a book that backs up its claims with a very powerful treatment program. It also sheds light on the different treatment methods being used today. Nevertheless, you should remember that the effectiveness of the program is dependent on you alone. Heartburn No More is an investment in terms of time, money, and effort, and you should make the investment if you are ready to change your life completely.

Mustard is good and also baking soda. Just take about one tablespoon of mustard, or put a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of warm water and drink it. These two are just home remedies, in the event you can not get to the store to buy an antacid. If it lingers see a doctor for a prescription and an evaluation. It can become severe, where it seem like you are having heart problems, when you lie down. I was hospitalized for three days last week with heartburn, and felt like heart problem.

You could have a medical condition called gurd. Which is acid reflux. The sphincter in your esophagus my not be working properly to hold down the acid. Figure out what time of day you have it the worst. Is it when you lay down? Don't eat then lay down. Try to eat a couple hours before sleeping. Stay away from orange juice, chocolate, acidic foods, and coffee for starters. If it becomes extremely painful see you doctor it can form an ulcer if not treated. I have noticed that acid reflux is hereditary see if anyone else in your family suffers from it. Prescription medication works very well it reduces the amount of acid your stomach produces.

I got rid of mine a long time ago. The doctor put me on Zantac (back when it was a prescription) and I took it for a month or so. During that time, I learned to find the triggers in my diet and learned to eat slower. Once I adjusted my bite size and chewed correctly, I didn't get it again. There are, to this day, triggers for me, though. I can't eat dried apricots, peanuts or drink Gatorade.
If you are looking for a temporary fix, try Maalox. It worked better for me than Tums.

Pregnancy causes a list of problems, diseases, and discomforts. Diabetes is one and one of the more annoying ones is heart burn. The baby simply occupies space that the stomach needs to operate well. Since she is pregnant, she should consult her physician to see what is the best remedy for her, before start taking over the counter medication or consume anything else.

depends how serious and how often your symptoms are.
when to contact your dr/pharmacist
-if the pain is more than just annoying
-if it happens at night
-if it happens without any cause
-if it happens after taking mediction
try to avoid high fatty meals, spicy food, and try to eat less. stay sitting or upright 2 hrs after meals.
otherwise, if you know that a certain food (ie: spicy chicken) causes you heartburn but you wont give it up, take 1 zantac 15 minutes before eating. take another one after the meal if you start getting heartburn.
