Heartburn can last a short amount of time to several days. Go for the OTC medicine (Prilosec, Zantac, Maalox, Rolaids) and stay away from anything with acid in it (orange juice, etc.) for the short runs. Anything longer should be discussed with your doctor. Progressive burning may be GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). \n\nNexium.com is a good site for information on both heartburn and GERD.

See a doctor when you get a chance and see if there is anything that can be done. I suffered persistant stomach aches but no vomiting and my doctor gave me something called Aciphex for acid reflux...I didn't know that you could take medicines like that to help if you weren't vomiting or having heartburn, but you apparently can if you have what causes my stomach aches: Excessive stomach acid.\n\nIf the other suggestions here do not work, try taking an OTC acid blocker like the ones listed here: http://gi.org/patients/women/whatisgerd.asp You can buy generics cheap.\n\nI hope you find a cure for this and feel better soon!

See a gastroenterologist to diagnose and treat the cause of your heartburn. There're various reasons for heartburn, that require different treatment. See a doctor to determine what causes your heartburn and how to treat it properly. Usually, you get prescription medicine to take for a month or two. To stop burning immediately check your local pharmacy for heartburn medicine, such as pepsid or prilosec. For more info visit http://www.webmd.com

Usally high acid.  Try liquid gaviscon immediately, and if this alleviates it, you probably need a proton pump inhibitor such as nexium, prilosec otc,etc..

acid reflux, pregnancy and ulcers all cause heartburn. Occational heart burn may be caused by eating too fast. If this is the case, take smaller bites and chew your food throughly. Also, drinking milk or chocolate milk helps to releive the pain.

Caffeine is a diuretic, so it makes you have to go pee. You'll only gain the weight until you go to the bathroom. \n\nAnd who drinks 4 lbs of Pepsi a day??

You have probably upped your intake of carbohydrates (breads, pasta, etc.), and in some people that can cause severe heartburn.  Also, you may be eating more legumes, and that can cause digestive upsets.  \n\nYou sound younger, so if you want to continue on this diet -- it's not for every body type -- then I suggest to take a few Tums when you are hit with the heartburn (which is actually acid indigestion, and can lead to acid reflux disease).  I know it's probably not what you want to do, however, it does sound like your body is reacting to the foods you're eating now that have replaced what you ate before.\n\n(I actually have experienced heartburn with too many carbohydrates, especially bread and pastas, and found that drinking orange juice or some citrus juice -- lemon in the water, etc. -- often modified the "heartburn.")\n\nA macrobiotic diet is almost a vegan diet, however, it does incorporate a little fish or poultry (but no dairy or eggs) now and then, and that helps.  Plus many macrobiotic menus are extremely creative (99% of the menus don't have any fish or poultry) and delicious, so you may want to check at Amazon.com for some titles under macrobiotic cookbooks and try some out.  If you don't want animal products, at least try some macrobiotic menus to get an idea of how to combine all the foods you're eating -- the combination of foods can interact in your digestive tract the wrong way and also cause heartburn.\n\nKeep a meal log and write down what you eat each meal, and have a column for heartburn -- see which meals bring it on more.  That should help to narrow it down.  And if worse comes to worse, maybe add in some of the foods you had eliminated, and see if that reduces it or gets rid of it -- you just may be one of those people who needs more animal products in their diet.\n\nGood luck to you!

Thats pure acidity. Still go for a check up. Am not a dr.\nThe acid in yr stomach is burbing up to the diapragm in your food pipe. Avoid milk based food in empty stomach.

I wouldn't say it destroys nutrients. But it does kind of make them run through your system instead of getting properly absorbed for use.\n\nNow, Pepsi is fine as an occasional thing. It doesn't really become a problem unless it's a regular drink instead of something else. In fact, I've used Coke Classic a number of times to settle an uneasy stomach.\n\nMake it a treat like you do other sweets, and you should be fine.

Asprin doesn't help...\n\nLol. If you can get a prescription, try Ranitidine. If not, drink gatorade and carbonation. Balance them out, b/c carbonation settles your stomach, but too much will dehydrate you. Drink the gatorade to keep yourself hydrated.\n\nTry something mild to eat at first, like soda (Saltine) crackers.\n\nFeel better soon!

You need to modify your diet. Bad heartburn is normal. Cut out the fat. All of it. See your doctor ASAP. You could have liver or pancreatic problems.
