interesting fact to help heartburn

[bbm1188]

So I've been craving lemons lately for some odd reason. I've been squeezing a generous amount of lemon into a glass of water or putting lemon in a glass of water and heating it up. Very comforting. I've had horrible heartburn/acid reflux every night. Today I ate a lot of crappy greasy foods which usually makes it worse. So also today I drank 5 bottles of water with lemon squeezed in it and tonight no heartburn/ acid reflex. Looked it up online what the benifits were and it does in fact help with these heartburn/acid reflex issues. Thought is share my story on a hollistic approach.

Thanks for sharing! I have heard that almonds also help with heartburn. My aunt swore by them when she was preggers.

What also works well is vinegar.  It is a natural base, so it stops the stomach acid but it also aids digestion.  So unlike antacids that stop all stomach activity, you get the benefits.  AND it is good for your blood, liver, and kidneys!!!!  

I had heartburn so bad with my first pregnancy I was on the maximum dosage allowed for Nexium and it was doing nothing for me.  Vinegar stopped it and kept it away for hours.  Took 3 shots a day.
