Heart burn!!!

I have never had heart burn before now, but for about a week now it's been so bad that I wake up in the middle of the night and feel like I can breathe fire. Any ideas on how to help this problem? TUMS just don't do the trick, and I try to stay away from spicy foods.

  • Welcome to the heartburn club. Zantac, Tums and either propping yourself up or sleeping on your left side will help dramatically with the attacks in the middle of the night.

  • This sounds crazy but pickle juice!!! I saw it on Pinterest (lol) but I got so tired of having to eat Tums so much. I was also tired of the taste I woke up with in my mouth when I had to take one in the middle of the night. AND Zantac gave me heart palpitations lol awesome right? So I started looking up natural alternatives and that's what I found. It actually works for me. Good luck though because heartburn is absolutely miserable.
  • My OB recommended chewable Pepcid.

  • Pineapple juice helps and so does sauerkraut and also almonds. But not all at the same time :)
  • Ugh! Zombie threads!!! All excited when I saw Souptin and Snegde. And then back to the bleak reality which has become this shithole.
  • Zantac works great if you don't forget to take it mid evening, not right at bedtime. Bananas have also worked for me when Zantac doesn't get the job done.
