One of my teenage sons had heartburn last night and had had it since after lunch. He very rarely has heartburn. He has made the connection that he gets heartburn if he eats fast. (Which he rarely does, but apparently he at lunch fast yesterday.)

This does make sense. Chewing food adequately gets the digestion process started off right. Saliva helps with breaking down of the food.

Eating fast will also make you more likely to eat more that your need, which also contributes to heartburn.

I find that if I am stressed or in a hurry, my food does not sit well with me. I am better off waiting until I can eat slowly and enjoy my food.
