heartburn

[jomc]

uuuggghhhh.... cant decide if this horrendous feeling at the base of my throat is hot or cold.
Gaviscon aint doing its job today!

i always try milk or suck a mint, i had horrendous heartburn yesterday x x hope you feel better soon xx

 

[tinks77]

For me mints made it worse, I now have a freezer drawer full of jubblys and munch my way through those instead x

 

[knopk@]

Milk nand rennie do it for me most days

mmm i got jubblys in my freezer. gaviscon or milkshakes work for me to combat heartburn as the docs wont give me my omaprezole for my acid reflux lol

Chewing on chewing gum helps as it produces more saliva.

I've noticed mine is worse when Im active. MW said thats because any sort of stomach movement moves the stomach acid about. So i've been trying to eat very lightly if i know i'm going to be doing alot. I've noticed a bit of a difference.

 

[knopk@]

If I bend, I will have the acid come up, very nice. I do eat small portions now and it definitely helps.

I've been kept awake for the past few nights with heartburn, the only thing that seems to help is milk. Gaviscon hasn't been much use at all!

Only problem is by the time I get up and get a glass of milk from the kitchen, drink it and come back to bed I'm wide awake

 

[jomc]

I cant drink milk... hate the stuff! I had some natural yoghurt.... just a few spoons and that seems to have helped

 

[BevG]

yeah that would work, or plain bread, anything creamy or something that will soak up the excess acid. stay away from anything fatty or fried as these will make it worse

Jomc - what about milkshake or smoothie. I dont like milk - but i ususally try nesquik strawberry milk.
xxx

 

[positivity :)]

me too, heartburn has been really bad the past month so i've also been drinking strawberry milk as i dont like normal milk xx

 

[jomc]

been trying to convince hubby that Cornettos work really well so I should have one every night.... dont think he is buying into it

 

[BevG]

they would work cos of the milk in the ice cream duh lol. actually in small amounts ice cream can help
