Heartburn PSA

Since there are always tons of heartburn posts I figured I'd share my tip. With my first pregnancy I had the most terrible heartburn imaginable. A friend told me that she drank papaya juice to help hers. She'd heard it from a friend and it helped her so I gave it a try----it honestly helps a lot. I suggest diluting it with a little water otherwise it's super thick and sweet, but drink it on ice with or after meals and I swear it helps. Supposedly there's an enzyme in it that helps aid digestion. I've passed it on to several friends who have also said it helps. It's a little hard to find pure papaya juice, but worth the search. HTH all you heartburn sufferers.

    It's so funny you posted this. My dad's gastroenterologist just told him to go to GNC and buy papaya tablets. He is supposed to chew a couple after every meal to aid digestion. My mom tried one and said they aren't bad. :) She said they aren't very expensive, either.

    See! It's not an OWT! I didn't know they made tablets though, interesting!
