I didn't know that is where my heartburn came from! Don't have any input other than I can relate. Hope someone can answer your question.
Funny you should mention it.... I was hyperthyroid and had heartburn for years with it. Now that I'm back to normal after thyroid surgery, I still have terrible heartburn. There's got to be a connection.
I have heartburn and it is caused by celiac disease which is gluten intolerant. I take papaya enzymes. They are a digestive enzyme and it really helps to take away the pain. You could be gluten intolerant. It is a simple blood test. You can buy the papaya enzymes in any health food store. linda
I forgot to tell you that when you sleep, sleep on your right side and you will not get it at night. The nutritionist tolld me this. It has something to do with where the esophogus enters the stomach. It really works. The minute I turn on my left side the heartburn stops. hope this helps. lol linda
