I can't believe it! I had the worst heart burn today. Tonight it was making my chest ache and I didn't think it would go away. But then I found this website and ate a stick of celery, which was hard for me to believe, but now my chest is COMPLETELY painless after about 5 min!!! And the burning in my belly has almost completely subsided. I'm so happy, now I can sleep well :]

I am now a believer! I used 2 tablespoons of ACV and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup just because I ran out of honey or I would have used that instead. The cure was instant.

Baking Soda

Milk

I have had acid reflux for about 7 years now mine is chronic so it'll never go away, but I found that if you have really bad heartburn drink a COLD glass of milk and it'll sooth the pain. If it doesn't go away after one glass get another and keep doing this process until your heartburn dies down.

Hi everyone:

I have acid reflux. I eat raw foods and one thing I like to eat is raw or blanched almonds. One day after lunch I realized after eating a handful of almonds that there was no heartburn for me. That's when I realized that almonds can be good for heartburn.

For heartburn, try cold milk, two sips at a time.

Probiotics

Posted by Natnmargie (Spokane, Wa) on 02/02/2015

I bought a 120 capsule bottle of Nutrition Now Probiotics PB8, and started taking 2 morning and night. Within days my stomach was feeling "normal". Hurrah....no more heartburn. I've even tested it, by eating something that would normally have caused a problem and it was not a problem at all! I would recommend giving this a try for heartburn and acid reflux.

Carbonated Beverages

Posted by Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn.) on 12/30/2014

HI U DON, , , , , , , , sit down and let me tell you a story. The reason Coca-Cola bottles were originally designed the way they were was because of the pressure the carbonation built up in the bottle. The pH of a coke in the 40's and 50's was 2.4 and that's quite acidic. If you had an upset stomach then your mom gave you a coke to drink. As kids, we had contests to see who could drink a 6 oz coke without stopping. No one could because the CO2 came out your nose, ears, eyes and everywhere.

Soda's today have very little carbonation and will not settle your tummy. They contain corn syrup and will only give you a butt. Get a kick out of today's young folks who think history began when they were born. We had an advantage because we had parents that told us stories of the the past.

Time is neigh and our culture is changing and passing me by.

Lemons

Hi Carole, What I have found to be very effective for heartburn is squeezing 3 to 5 lemons & drink it undiluted & within 15 mins your heartburn is gone, but to address the cause, do not eat when you are upset because it shuts down the digestive juices & the food just lies in your stomach & rots & causes acid & the lemon juice gets things going again.

Many thanks for this website. I had heartburn like 4-5 times a day before I started using ACV. After two months of taking it, I may only have very very minor heartburn once a week. I took a tbsp of ACV with honey and warm water. Once I took 4-5 tbsp for my flu a few days. But now my teeth can't stand for it. I felt like they were going to crack even though I was not eating. So I switched to less than 1 tbsp and added molasses for my grey hair this morning. I also made the homemade toothpaste to remineralize my teeth. I just tried last night and I don't feel like they are going crack now. I also did the coconut oil pulling. Lets see the result later.

I find that it helps to drink the ACV water through a straw--that way it bypasses the teeth.

Eliminate Coffee

My hubby was having issues with heartburn and acid reflux, he thought he was having a heart attack at one point. He went to a doc in Canada and after she checked him over she asked if he drank a lot of coffee and he said yes. She told him to try not drinking coffee for a week and if that didn't help come back and see her. Well, as it turns out it did help. Kick the coffee and see how you feel in a week ;o}
