Happy Heartburn! Signed, Your Diet
Heartburn getting the best of your diet?
Some home remedies that might help you deal with that 3-alarm tummy fire until you see your doctor....
One
of the biggest culprits of heartburn and indigestion is eating late at night.
Try to consume your last meal of the day as early in the evening as possible.

From
dinner until beddy-bye, enjoy beverages that are sugar free and alcohol free.
Both sugar and alcohol are big contributors to heartburn.
Tomatoes
may also be the root to your heartburn woes. It's like adding acid
to acid to create more acid.
Sometimes
including a meal packed with carbs for dinner will be of help. Some items
to include: beans, pastas, and rice.
On
that note - DON'T reach for the butter. Fats in foods can spur a heartburn
attack. Use your refrigerated no-calorie butter spray for your evening
dining pleasure.
Eat
S-L-O-W-L-Y at mealtimes, taking care to shred your food into TINY, TINY bites
so they'll digest easier. Try not to suck in air as you eat.
Ginger
tea might help extinguish your inner fire. Use 1/4 teaspoon of ground
ginger per cup. You may also find it pre-made in your more modern stores.
Even chewing on a bit of ginger may provide relief.
Avoid
bottling emotions up inside of you. Stress
is one of mankind's greatest enemies. Try to enjoy the good things in
life and set those troubles on a back burner. Believe me, they'll still
be here even when you are gone.
A
personal home remedy that I have used for years is Cola-Syrup which can be found
in some drug stores. You may have to look around for this product, as
it's not readily available - but larger stores probably carry this product.
It is absolutely WONDERFUL for calming the tummy and works masterfully
on nauseated tum-tums. Prepare according to the directions using crushed
ice.
There
are so many over-the-counter ailment combatants these days, and though you may
find one that works well for you, if your heartburn continues, please make an
appointment with your doctor. You may be a sufferer of Acid-Reflux. There
has been impressive progress on the Medical front in this area and the new medications
may cure your heartburn.
