What is a good, natural, effective way to get rid of heartburn?
I have acid reflux. I used to take Prevacid for it, but it doesn’t work anymore. But I still have heartburn. What can I do to get rid of it?

dont eat for 3 hours before going to bed and stay upright at least for 2 hours after eating. also, elevate the head of the bed (put books under the top legs of the bed). stay away from foods that others have listed and have a bland diet…it may take a while to get better….

It may sound odd, but two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. It works like a charm!

i take tums. but you can also drink milk. do not take baking soda. i have a relative who had a heart attack, that may have been caused by taking baking soda.drink milk or try tums.

try half a glass of water with a teaspoon of Baking Soda. It will get rid of the acid, and also give you one large burp

A half glass of milk coats your stomach and keeps acid levels ( the producers of heartburn )down

Switch to a bland diet…lots of dairy products. Things to cut out: fried food, citric acidy foods including tomatoes, corn products, black pepper, caffine. Cutting these items out of diet will make huge difference.

Cut the grisl of your meat and feed it to the dog/cat.Too much fat in your diet increases acid production and the coses acid reflux.Milk contains fat and cheese and butter are made from the fat from milk.Cut out Derry products from your diet, and start using soy products.And don't eat a foul meal before going to bed.Cracker's or a lite snack is suffusion.cut out drinking alcohol and smoking ,thy also increase acid production.Or start eating antacid's by the hand foul's.
