i think Milk is helping

I've been told that drinking something acidic, such as orange or grapefruit juice is the best thing for heartburn. I know it sounds odd, as it's acid that you're fighting, but try at least Googling this means of helping.. I've tried it and it seemed to help.

softchew cherry rolaids! i lived on them while i was pregnant, and they work! and also try vitamin D milk. that worked with my first pregnancy. and that was before the softchew rolaids came out.

been there

Coke Cola and Rennies

*Wincing at the answers I am seeing*

KK, milk is temporary at best and often ends up creating even more acid.

I've heard the acidic drink theory, but the idea of more acid to cure acid is nothing I wanna try.

Rolaids and Tums ect I'll get back to.

Coca-cola is just silly, I know for a fact that causes heartburn, not cures.
Rennies is another type of Rolaids.

Now first lemme define the problem, Acid indigestion: Excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid by the stomach cells. Medically known as hyperchlorhydria. Sometimes used interchangeably with heartburn.

KK Now Nighttime heartburn is actually a problem with the stomach valve relaxing as we recline allowing stomach acid to get to our esophagus. That is treated differently than general heartburn.

But for regular heartburn, nothing and I do mean NOTHING works better than Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda. The makers of rolaids and tums know this as well as it is their main ingredient. Sadly though they also add in aluminum compounds as a preservative which are linked to Alzheimer's.

So I prefer the source, grab a box of arm and hammer, put about a teaspoon to a tablespoon (figure out your amount basically through trial, but I can say I use a tablespoon and weigh 190LB, simple algerbra would give you a dose for your body weight, but easy enough to start at teaspoon and repeat till problem solved) in a cup, add in a lil sugar to hide the salty taste, disolve in some hot water and add in enough cold water to make it drinkable. Drink it all down fast.

Why this works http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/sci/A0845789.html
Sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate, chemical compound, NaHCO3, a white crystalline or granular powder, commonly known as bicarbonate of soda or baking soda. It is soluble in water and very slightly soluble in alcohol. It is also decomposed by most acids; the acid is neutralized and carbon dioxide is given off. It is sometimes used medically to correct excess stomach acidity.

Now you will find an urge to burp afterwards, but dun worry that's good, just shows you that your acid has been neutralized.

you have heartburn either because you need food and your bubbling up acids, or you ate the wrong thing and you need some calcium. I suggest chewable enzyme tablets, also great for hang-overs.

Exercise, fresh air, lots of water and sunshine. Make sure you get lots of fruit too.
This is even better if complemented by a vegetarian diet.
