9 times of 10 heartburn sufferers actually lack adequate amounts of hydrochloric acid in their stomach. With out this most important digestive aid we suffer from heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. What happens is we lack HCl acid, can't digest our food, it lies in our stomach until it rots and ferments causing heartburn and indigestion. The heartburn you suffer from right now is prolly due to a burger or whatever you ate a few days ago that hasn't digested, so when you eat and get your stomach to churning, all that fermented protein sloshes around giving off a putrid gas, causing heartburn. STAY AWAY from antacids, baking soda, tums, pepto, and things that decrease your stomach acid. This is only masking the symptoms of an untreated cause. Take a tablespoon of Raw apple cider vinegar before meals. Take a HCl acid supplement and take 2-3 digestive enzymes with every meal. You will notice a huge difference in just a few days. Hope this helps

Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here https://bitly.im/aMA0z
The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.

Some have suggested that drinking a large glass of water dilutes the low pH (acidic) levels in the stomach and allows the pain to temporarily subside.
If heartburn occurs when lying down, raising the head with pillows or sitting up frequently provides relief – although care must be taken to avoid placing continuous strain on the neck. Avoidance of certain foods shortly before bedtime is frequently advised to avoid future attacks.
