Heart Burn Tips.

I get it very occasionally and used to overdose on Gaviscon. Now I merely sip cold water.

If your doctor prescribes Lansoprazole or Omeprazole be aware, it can give you the sh*ts real bad! Ranitidine, although not as good, is a lot easier on the other end.

Don't mess around with solutions, drugs etc, deal with the possible sources.....

Avoid stuff that is often the cause. Google!!!
Eat better at lunch than at supper
Drink less, at least in the mid to late evening.

Unfortunately I'm past the point of no return with acid reflux blackbarn

Yes Aspro agree,

I find Ranitidine good also..

cheaper than bottles of Gaviscon.

Are you sure its heartburn and not IBS ?

Talking about the cramps that are high up in the stomach and rising, have 2 relatives that suffer from IBS and it is all down to pastry or cutting it out.

Been on Omez for years never had a Problem ,certainly helps to Prevent. on the very rare Occasion I get a attack A glass of milk is as good as anything.

Aspro - Unfortunately I'm past the point of no return with acid reflux blackbarn Sad.

I have every sympathy for your condition A. Have you tried sleeping sitting up, the Tudors did it all the time.

Water is the best thing for heartburn , in fact its the best thing for your digestion , drink water about 1 hour before you have food

No, don't think I could blackbarn. After my heart-attack I was prescribed aspirin, which was the cause of the reflux problem; they screwed up my stomach, as confirmed via an endoscopy. Off them now but the damage is done. Lansoprazole and Omeprazole worked well but they caused severe bowel issues (for me). Ranitidine has eased that and I can't say I really suffer at all these days... thankfully.

Acid has risen so far up as to burn my Clacker. (aka Uvula)

The good thing with Ranitidine is if you are having a particularly bad day you can still take Gaviscon (although I rarely need this). With the other two you can't

A few marshmallows helps, just found this out recently but it seems to work!!

Pantaprezole..

I had the worst, and most worrying being woken up, and cannot breathe this early morning...

Honestly thought I wasn't going to recover....

Every time this has happened, I tell myself to try breathing through my nose, instead of gasping through my closed throat!

I thought the burning would never end but, yes, milk is the thing, or yoghurt.
