It was really bad so I clicked on the net for a cure.
it said to take a glass of water with a tea spoon of vinegar in it.
so I followed instructions and guess what?
The heartburn was gone within 20 seconds.
remember this thread you may need to do this one day.
But seriously I could not believe how good and how quick the tip worked.

Apple cider vinegar?
|
|
By:
If it recurs you would be better off going to see your GP and getting some proper medication. Heartburn can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

I think apple cider is best but my heartburn was so bad I did not care,so I seen a bottle of chip shop vinegar in the press and used it.but it worked straight away.

I've been having heartburn for about 6 weeks or so.I was constantly being sick,sometimes as many as 5 or more times a day but i think I found out why 2 days ago.I've been eating very few vegetables and so by eating fruit and other acidic foods i am building up lots of acid and its not being neutralised or counterbalanced by veg...So what I need to do is eat far more veg.Actually as I'm writing this I'm having heartburn now.I'm sure about needing to eat more vegetables though.I can't take vinegar,by the way,allergic to Acetic acid.

The stomach produces the acid, not the food.

apple cider vinegar
as you get older you produce less stomach acid. they try to sell you anti acids but this only helps briefly. your stomach needs more acid not less. Avoid all anti acids. i actually think the anti acids cause your stomach to stop producing it's own natural way of dealing with the problem. I get stomach cramps and apple cider vinegar helps me. it can even supposedly help flush out stones in gall bladder and liver over time. along with chinese bitters. a spoonful a day in a morning glass of water. |

Culvin - you definitely need to see a doctor. Could be a number of things. You might need to have the camera down to explore possibilities. Not being alarmist but I've been there and the problem is now sorted. |

Well that's interesting.Thanks very much for the info.I'll make an appointment to see a Doctor in the morning.

Half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a glass of water does the trick
|
|
By:
yes water is very good for stomach acid , if you eat smaller meals too that will help
|
|
By:
Crags.I'll try the Bicarb soda.My father suggested that also but I thought it would only help to make me sick.I'll give it go now.
|
|
By:
I was told about the bicarb a few years ago and it works really well, quickly too.

I thought crucified meant nailed to a cross.

By:
Culvin - wise man. Always better to get it seen to. I've read that smoking apart from it's obvious dangers , can aggravate acid reflux because it relaxes the eosophagus which usually keeps food and acid down. good luck anyway.

crucified=to cause anguish

You've nailed it there.

By:
No need to hammer the point home.

Indeed, we don't want anyone to get cross.

had stomach acid overflow
worst pain ever felt needed morphine hospital |
|
By:
I'm trying sodium bicarb now. Say it's anti cancer too.
I can't make any sense of what's wrong with me. Ate junk for over forty years - switch to a healthier diet and now my stomach hates me. one internet article says to go back to my old diet. Says your body is used to it. You can't change to another just like that. used to eat anything, now i'm scared of a glass of irn bru. |

You're overdoing the deep-fried Mars bars Zorro, eat no more than two a day and you'll be alright.

Seen the Doc today and after listening to what i had to say and then being examined,,he diagnosed that i have heartburn so he gave me a prescription for something called Lansoprazole.So i'll see how it goes.I just want the pains to go away and to stop being sick all the time.
|
|
By:
bit like England 1st XI
|
|
By:
That should give almost instant relief Culvin. I'm on a similar product called Omeprazole. They work like magic.

By:
Foinavon.Yeh,so far so good mate.No pains or being sick,so I'm well happy.I'm working at Doncaster racecourse on Sat and I was not looking forward to it but I think I'll be OK now.

By:
Good news Culvin

By:
Crystalhunt.Thanks for the advice about seeing a Doctor.I'm glad I did because ive had no pains and no being sick.Thanks again mate.
|
|
By:
Cheers mate - I've known too many people who wont got to the quacks and end up in a bad way.
|
|
By:
Lansoprazole is the best cure about.
|
|
By:
Far be it for me to add caution to the relief that these drugs can give, but they can have side effects, particularly if taken long term.
Googling will list many of these, particularly lack of calcium intake can lead to weakness of bones and fractures, particularly hips. If you can get off them, try. |

My doctor told me not to drink Apple Cider Vinegar?
said if I had an ulcer would be dangerous. What doctor should you listen to? conflicting info? |

By:
At the end of the day it is only you that is responsible for your your health.
Educate yourself and make an informed decision. |

By:
It's worth having some Gaviscon tablets to hand, but I always find that water on it's own is good.
Milk and digestive biscuits are also good, as is cereal with milk. Milky drinks and porridge are also good. |

Not a big fan of this sort of stuff, but if you want something quick and easy, get some "Ready Brek"

Heartburn is just a symptom of indigestion.
Usually the problem is caused by eating combinations of stuff you can't digest. You eat your meat and two veg then give yourself indigestion by adding a sweet, which will not digest with the poor combination of food already in your stomach. Too much alcohol can give you indigestion. To correct indigestion, it's simply a matter of cutting out the stuff that's causing the problem. Or eating your food in compatible combinations Cows milk is one of the worst foods in this respect. It doesn't digest well with most foods. People who take care not to eat bad combinations of food (food combiners) do not suffer with indigestion. The other cause of indigestion could be helicobacter pylori. This is the bacteria that can live in your gut and give you the indigestion that causes stomach ulcers. If the indigestion is recurring see your doctor. |
