Get your doctor to test you for "Heliobactopyloria"\n (helio-back-tor-pye-laura) It is just a drop of blood on to test unit.\nIt is a bug lives in the stomach acid and will cause symptoms you describe it is not affected by proprietary medicines like gaviscon or alludrox,they just mask the effects.

I get heartburn easily too. Eat smaller meals, and eat less spicey or fried foods. Take soda (carbonated water, not Coke or Pepsi) with your meal. \n\nKeep a box of acid-relief tablets in your car in case your need them after dining out.\n\nIf this is a problem that occurs mostly at night then eat early. Give your body time to digest food before you go to bed. Also try tilting your bed upwards by placing a brick under each leg on the end that you have your head. This keeps the content of your stomach away from your oesophagus.

Note I am not a certified Medical Professional.  If you keep getting pain from taking Spicy food, seek Medical Professional Assistance.\n\nYes and No, it depends on the amount of spicy food taken, and the constitution of the person taking the meal.\n\nSmall amount, usually does not cause an issue.\nLarge amount food, be it spicy or not, may result in heart Burns, add spicy food into the stomach, and a fiery mix may cause some pain.\n\nNot all stomach are equal, for some whom are not use to spicy stuff in their system, and has a pre existing condition, the increase in acidity may cause an issue.\n\nExercise moderation at all time, drink plenty of water/milk(is better) during such a meal, alcohol or caffeine stuff in moderation or  to be avoided if possible.

Eliminate fatty foods, spices(especially pepper), fruit juices, coffee, tea, cocoa, soda and alcohol.  Also avoid meat for at least 2 weeks.  Eat 2 ounces of low fat cheese a day.  Make sure you eat fruits and vegetables that are low in acid.  Eat only when you are relaxed and take your time eating.  \n\nPut 1 teaspoon of licorce root or marshmallow root in a 1 cup of water and simmer for 15 minutes and drink slowly, make sure you eat eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to ensure adequate intake of potassium.  Both of these offer a soothing action on the mucous membranes.  When eating your fruits and veggies, let them get to room temperature.  Try to avoid cold foods and drinks.

Drink Pickle Juice. Yuck you say. But it really works great and lasts for quite a while before you get heart burn again. Plus the vinigar in the juice will help other gastric problems too. \n\nTrust me, I am a Pharmisutical Chemist.

There are alot of anti-gas medications that you can take over the counter. Also avoid foods that cause gas like greasy meats, cheeses, nuts, and pickled foods.

I would recommend a colon cleanse. You have 'acid reflux' and other problems because your colon is not working at it's optimum with all the toxins and old fecal matter. A good cleanse will cure you of those problems and you won't have to take anything. Drugs like Prilosec, etc. only relieve the symptoms and are therefore worthless.

Consider maybe a problem with the gallbladder.  Attention might be directed to what kinds of food are causing the problem, i.e., fatty foods, milk products (lactose intolerance).  If it is a problem of diarrhea after eating, this may be the problem.  Maybe eliminating one kind of food at a time might give you a clue to what is causing the problem.  In any case, see your M.D.

You really need to watch your intake of acidic foods. \n\nThere are certain foods that are beneficial and certain you should avoid.\n\nDrink sufficient fluids -- your weight divided by 2 = ounces per day. Take fluids between meals, using reverse osmosis purified water, unsweetened juices, and herbal beverages. Try liquid chlorophyll in pure water, it is delicious and refreshing! \n\n*A minimum of 50% of your food should be alive -- fresh, raw, unprocessed. Dead food cannot build strong bodies. Eat foods in season and foods that can spoil. (But eat them before they spoil, of course!)More is preferable! \n\n*Eliminate foods used in a microwave. Try to eliminate using the microwave for anything you eat or drink.\n\n*Eliminate processed sugars and white flour and any foods that contains these; i.e., read labels. \nSubstitute whole grain foods for white -- stone ground whole wheat, brown rice, etc. \n\n*Avoid all stimulants. They are very hard on the adrenal glands. (Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, aspirin, black tea -- herbal tea acceptable.) \n\n*It is easier on your digestive system if you eat fruit by itself. Fruit digests faster than any other type of food. Starches and proteins do not combine well either. \n\n*Eat two-thirds of your daily food intake before mid-afternoon if possible. It is best to use protein in the morning and at noon, not in the evening. \n\n*Eliminate fried foods of all kinds -- bake, roast, or steam instead. \n\n*Avoid pork and any product containing pork -- lunch meats, hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, etc. Experts feel that the parasites in pork are heat-resistant. \n\n*Do not use aluminum cookware. \n\n*Replace table salt with Vegetable Seasoning Broth, kelp or B-Salt. Table salt -- sodium chloride -- is an imbalanced chemical which can cause health problems. \n\n*Replace red meat with fish or fowl whenever possible. \n\n*Substitute leaf lettuce -- Romaine, red or green leaf, or butter for head lettuce which has very little food value and is toxic in the colon. \nTry to add cultured products, natural yogurt & keifer (not sweetened) to your diet to help your digestive system. Also add acidophilus supplements to your regimen to increase friendly bacteria in your intestines and support your immune system. \n\n\n*70% of your daily food intake should be selected from alkaline-forming list. 30% from the acid-forming list. \n\nTo accomplish this, you may have: \n5 vegetables* \n2 fruits \n2 starches -- or -- 1 starch \n1 protein 2 proteins\n\nAcid - Forming Foods \nMeat \nFowl \nEggs \nBread\nNuts \nCitrus juices \nFish \nCheese \nRice \nGrains (cereal) \nSugar \nAlkali - Forming Foods \n\nFruit juices/except citrus \nVegetable juices \nRaw Honey \nSoybeans \nPotatoes \n*Liquid Chlorophyll - Chloropyll may be used as a vegetable.\nGoat milk \nsprouted seeds \n\nMe - fitness expert, nutrition and life coach \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoda of ay kind is one of the worst things you can put into your body.\nOne can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. I can't think of any good reason to ever have it. The diet varieties are also problematic as they are filled with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame.\n\nAspartame has been linked to \nBirth Defects \nCancer (Brain Cancer) \nDiabetes \nEmotional Disorders \nEpilepsy/Seizures\n\nSplenda is just as bad in fact Splenda is one of the worse things you could ever put in your body. It sugar and chlorine mixed together forming a chemical called sucralose.\n\nSplenda's Sour Side Effects\n\nShrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage) \nEnlarged liver and kidneys \nAtrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus \nReduced growth rate \nDecreased red blood cell count \nDiarrhea \n\nStudies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease, yet the average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year.

Stop smoking or drinking coffee, and when you brush your teeth, also brush your gums and tongue.  Make sure you eat a balanced diet (not too much meat, which can sit in your stomach, and cause the odor to come up your esophagus and into your mouth.)  Also try "breath assure" which is a caplet you swallow, and it releases freshness into your mouth all day!

If so you are making to much acid, do you have heartburn? again it's over acidity?\nDO NOT take anymore antacids they will make the problem worse and they can also start the problem off in the first place.\nDoes it only start when you eat fried or spicy foods, if so you may have an ulcer.\n\nDo you have a lot of gas, is your stomach tender to the touch?\nYou could have a peptic ulcer or gastritis.\nTreatment.Herbal teas: German chamomile-thistle-betony-\nTablets: ginseng-goldenseal-\nCider vinegar=2 teaspoons in glass of water 2 to 3 times daily.\nIf my treatment fails go to your GP he will send you to the hospital for tests.Contact me if you need any more advice e-mail alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk\n\nGloria J Jones (BSYA-SEN)

I mix about 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a little glass of water.  It works fast and amazingly well.  My mom always hands out peppermint candy when someone complains of heartburn.  Also, chew chew chew your food really well as digestion actually begins in the mouth.  Drinking too much liquid with your food can dilute your stomach acid.
