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.

Couldn't sleep tonight with bad heartburn. After trying OTC acid reducers to no avail, I started looking online for remedies I had in the house. No apple cider vinegar to be found at 1 am, but I had plenty of almonds! 5 seems to have made a huge improvement.

I just ate a few almonds and felt more pain as they went down and then - poof - total relief about 5 minutes later.

Better But With Side Effects
These worked for my heartburn as I am in my 7th month of pregnancy, but I sure did get sick of them. I have also have read that too many nuts can cause constipation which is also a problem of late pregnancy, so be careful. ACV and baking soda work not so well and the taste is awful with a burn of their own. View Entire Thread

Eating about 10 almonds, I use raw, always stops heartburn immediately for me.

Worked Temporarily
I tried the almonds and they partially worked. I am going to try the apple cider vinegar when I get home. View Entire Thread

Eating a handful of raw almonds stops GERD dead in its tracks. My daughter ate almonds throughout her pregnancy whenever heartburn hit. It worked for her also.
