How do you combat heartburn?

[HamburgerBoy]

I ate a plate of beans covered in pepper with a bag of spicy habanero Doritos topped off with a plate of spicy Indian food for lunch. My entire stomach region has been on fire for the past eight hours and shows no sign of stopping. Help plz.

Put all that into your stomach in a single day, it serves you right to suffer...

Try some Pepsid...works pretty well for me when I abuse the system...

Eat 2 burrito supremes with fire sauce, a texas whopper, and finish it off with a 32 ounce slurpee.

Don't have anything like that. Any common foods that will help? Usually I have milk to help with stomach aches but don't want to risk causing any further damage.

Try drinking a coke.

Try baking soda and water, drink it and belch.

Ice Cream

Milk. (as you mentioned)

it does your body good too.

Pepto Bismal? Shoot, if you get heartburn all the time maybe you should look into taking the Purple pill? (Nexium)

 

[Colt45]

ranitidine (zantac)

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Coke/Sprite works fine for me.
Eat Yogurt for dinner.

Any food with a basic ph level, milk for example, should help. Hope the heartburn is gone now by the way.

I believe milk is slightly acidic, but the fat in it absorbs stuff.

Tums works wonders

 

[eits]

you combat heartburn by eating right and not laying down after you eat.

for those who have gerd, nexium works wonders... get a perscription.

I used to live on Tums....always carried them with me.... everything gave me heartburn.

Dr put me on Prilosec... I think I've only needed Tums 2-3 times since I started on the Prilosec.

 

[archiloco]

sipping coke, and then belching works.......if it's a mild case of heartburn, if not try pepto, or mylanta....good luck

 

[Reggae4k]

if you smoke, try stop smoking. i used to get heartburn from smoking.

Eat in moderation, chew gum after meals, take ranitidine, lose weight, lift the head of your bed 6 inches, wear looser belts, etc.

Milk can exacerbate heartburn. Yogurt might help although for me it's just neutral.

 

[FoBoT]

tums or baking soda or milanta

 

[eplebnista]

I rarely ever get heartburn, but when I do, I drink a cup of whole white milk slowly over a period of several minutes, and within a half hour after the milk is finished the heartburn is gone.
