Acoording to the website that i read about BANANA, it helps to relief heartburn. Try it! I will give you the link. Good Luck.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body so if you suffer from heart-burn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Hi Shari

Home Remedies for Heart Burn:

1. Just eat 5 or 6 raw ALOMONDS no salt nothing with in 5 min. or so heartburn will be gone .

2. Drink couple of ounces of Aloe Vera Juice. Get from any health food stores. Heartburn goes away fast and try this every time you have it or before you eat

3. Take One tablespoon of Distilled White Vinegar at the onset of heart burn.

4. RAW Carrots, Potatoes and Apple.You can grate or eat whole, a carrot or a Potatoe or a apple. THESE ARE ALL ACID NEUTRALISERS.

5. For heart burn eat two peppermint candies or use one drop of peppermint oil on tongue. heart burn will subside in 5 mins

6. club soda has baking soda, which of course remedies this problem. however, it tastes better than mixing baking soda and water at home and works just as well.

7. Eat LOTS of raw broccoli to kill heartburn. The fiber in the broccoli will bind to the acids and provide excellent relief

8. For immediate relief of heartburn, eat one tablespoon of brown sugar.

9. Chew raw ginger or take ginger tablets


Foods to avoid

Some foods are not easily digested and can prompt bouts of indigestion among susceptible people and this results in acidity and heart burn. Avoid pickles, fried foods, hot spicy foods, chocolate, pastries, and raw salad vegetables like onion, radish, cabbage, and peppers. Cut down on alcohol since it increases stomach acidity, strong coffee and tea can cause irritation and fizzy drinks can produce wind. Unripe fruits are high in pectin, which is hard to digest so it has to be avoided.


Precaution

Do not eat just before going to bed.
Avoid irregular and hurried meals.
Stop smoking and cut down on alcohol.
Follow yoga or some exercise to reduce stress.
Drink plenty of water.

Best of health to you

Answer 5

I would say anything with lots of calcium should help. I drink milk or eat yogurt or something when I have heartburn and it seems to help. I would say try and get Tums whenever you can to help as well.

Answer 6

i dont blame you about the tums i have tryed all the flavors i can find and they are all chocky to me, some do taste ALOT better then others... but milk is suppost to help, i never tryed it but my sister did when she was pregnant (she had heartburn so bad) she said it worked so nicely for her. good luck heart burn sucks.. i had it for a week early on in my pregnancy, and then i had it from week 35 to week 38.. it sucks

Answer 7

I had to go to eating small snacks throughout the day, never drinking more than a few ounces of water at a time. That helped more than anything. And not eating/drinking within a few hours of bedtime.

Don't take anything over the counter unless your physician has approved it for pregnancy.

Answer 8

Try a product called Gaviscon - it is an emulsion which lines your stomach and prevents reflux (cause of heartburn).

Answer 9

I found milk help a bit... also don't eat right before bed... stay upright and walk around (it's not as bad until you lie down)

Answer 10

Peppermint! I lived on after dinner mints w/ my daughter because of my heart burn.
