Chew papaya tablets before each meal. They are loaded with enzymes that help heal the stomach. These can be purchased in any health food store. Also eat fresh papaya. If you do this for one month you will see a significant difference.

Answer 3

Have you tried prescription acid-blockers? Sounds like you have a real case. I don't know why you don't take medication, because for me it was a god-send.

I had horrible heartburn for years--so bad I often raced to the toilet to throw up acid. Here's what I learned. The only meal I could eat without setting off heartburn was green salad (with a little cheese, ham, etc.). I never found an evening meal I could get by on. I had to loosen all clothing and recline in my barcalounger after dinner and sometimes, if I went to bed (always propped up) and the heartburn returned, I'd have to sleep in my recliner. At times, I'd take 10-200mg Tagamet (rx at the time) per day with only minimal momentary success. A high-fiber diet was better, but not good.

For me, one Nexium in the morning and I can eat/drink anything I want without any acid problems. Consider it.

So no, I don't know of any vegetable or meal for that matter that's going to help you out. I wish I did. Sorry.

Answer 4

Foods that can absorb acid are good: rice, bread.
As for vegetables, try mild ones, like cooked carrots and peas.
Avoid spicy foods, citrus, things like broccoli or cabbage, and caffeine foods - no coffee, cola.
Eat dinner at least 2 hours before you lie down.
Drink lots and lots of water. When I get heartburn, I take Tums and a glass of water, which really works.

Answer 5

You don't mention whether a physician has evaluated your heartburn. You are calling your heartburn "severe". You may benefit from being evaluated for GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease. Your esophageal sphincter, which is between your esophagus and stomach, may not close properly and therefore stomach acids are forced into your esophagus. Your esophagus may become inflamed and begin to erode. This may lead to Barrett's Esophagus, a precancerous change in your esophageal cells; this in turn may lead to esophageal cancer. I have seen people in their 30's die of esophageal cancer due to GERD.

The burning in your esophagus is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. If you have not discussed GERD with a physician, please do so.

Regarding foods to avoid, read about GERD at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gerd/DS00967.

Answer 8

Yes there is, but you will be terribly surprised by it ... SAUERKRAUT. I know it may seem 'weird' but Sauerkraut does more to relieve 'severe heartburn' than any other food ... try it and you'll see!

Answer 9

stop spicy food or late coffee. chew longer on your food and drinks lots of water ,hopefully you feel better soon if not have it checked out by a doctor.
