I am spending another sleepless night dealing with awful heartburn! I never get heartburn and it just seems like in the last month I've been getting it everyday/night. I drink a lot of water, watch what I eat & try not to eat anything that could trigger it. Seems like I can drink water & get it! I eat Tums but that seems to mess my gut up & I end up in the bathroom more often than normal. I take generic Zantac daily but that doesn't seem to help much. Anyone got any remedies they can share? It will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

For me Nexium was the best. I take sublingual prescription previcid now and it got my gastritis and esophogitis under control. Ask your GI about those 2. Otherwise I don't know for foods. Anything without acid of course helps. Once i got it only meds helped. I had a wicked bad case the other day, not sure why. Maybe coffee to soon to going to the gym. Bread made it worse I noticed and plain water didn't do much as well. It sucks to have. I have a hiatus hernia due to it.
Maybe some warm honey and milk? I always like soothing stuff since my throat starts to hurt too. Plain warm honey should work too if you aren't into dairy and also a tsp of apple cider vinegar for 2-3 days.
My drink of choice is turmeric root, I grate it and boil it with soy milk, strain it and put honey in it. Turmeric helps with inflamation and all of it mixed together is rather sweet and settling.

Thanks for responding vanessavy! I am going to try some of this. The heartburn I get is more in the center of my chest - sometimes I think I must be having a heart attack, it's so bad! I will have to try some of your suggestions.....anything to get rid of it!!
