If you want a natural solution...\n\nPeppermint tea settles upset tummies, as does ginger (you can still find some 'ginger ale' that's not artificially flavored -- but it's not easy). Candied ginger and fresh ginger root shredded and boiled into a tea also work.\n\nMake sure you stay hydrated and get some rest.\n\nHope you feel better soon!

Welcome to the wonderful world of heartburn.  Try Zantac 30 minutes before meals.  Avoid greasy, salty, and fried foods.  Malt liquor, beer and some wines will have the same effect.  Drink a lot of filtered or spring water.  Do not eat an hour or two before bedtime.

It sounds as though you have acid reflux.  I was sick for a few months, first thinking it was a virus, the flu, etc., and was dehydrated and needed to be hooked up to an IV for fluids.  I take Nexium and it works well, although I still have issues with certain foods.  \n\nI am sure that you have tried Tums, etc.-it does not get rid of it, but it may help settle your naseua.

NO! Ibuprophin and midol will NOT help! They'll make it worse! Eat bread, or saltines or anything else that will absorb any extra stomache acid. Wait a little bit, if that doesn't help, dring some sprite or other pop (no caffine) Stay away from dairy till it's gone!!! FEEL BETTER!!!

Clove oil as a natural remedy, or Ambusol if you do not care whether or not it is a natural cure. You just have to put a drop where the pain is.\nIf you have lost a filling, there is a temporary filling you can buy over the counter as well.

Salt water is great.  Keep that up.  Salt water is a natural disinfectant.  Try a neti pot  (I love it).  Also whiskey and honey.  Honey is a natural antibiotic and whiskey helps with the pain.

Accupuncture is wonderful for this. For an at-home solution, put deep pressure on the divet between your collar bones (center, just below neck) and push down. This is a great acupressure point for reflux. Hold until you feel better.

When do you see it act up the most? After eating spicy or fatty foods especially? My husband suffers from acid reflux and his gets worse after he eats aspecially after he lies down. There is also a burning sesation that goes along with it and also like you can't hold most of your liquids or food down it will go back up your esophagus. Also you will have bad breath even if you constanly brush your teeth due to the acid reflux. and defenitely pressure feeling from almost where your heart it to the top of your stomach. Happens daily and sometimes constantly. I would call your doctor and make and appointment to get it checked out. We disregarded it to heartburn and by the time his Acid Reflux also know as GERD was diagnosed my husband has 3rd degree burns in his esaphaughs and ulders due to the acid coming back up.

Most people in the Western World suffer from severe dehydration. The chemically preserved and altered food, decaffeinated beverages with toxic sugars ann vaccinated and steroid pumped up meat. Leg pain is a coomon health issue for those with hehydration. If this were my situation(someone who dealt with chronic pain for decades, I would try the water cure first. drink six glasses of distilled water every day for two weeks. Get three of those sun tea glass containers and add 12 grains of brown rice to each container to remineralize the distilled water(a friend suggested this) and rotate the water to continually drink remineralized water. In two weeks, start adding 1/4 tablespoon of unrefined sea salt to three more glasses of \ndistilled water each day. This will remineralize and rehydrate your body. Make this a lifestyle change. When your urine is clear each time you urinate, you will know your body is processing the toxins in your food better. \n\nIf your heydrated and remineralized bidy cures your problem then great but you might also want to make dietary changes to help prevent other health problems. Eat or juice blueberries, apples, and vegatables with most meals. Fruit juices like carrot juice, celery juice, and juicing other vegatables are great ways to give your body antioxidants that will help you with chronic pain. If your stools begin floating instead of sinking, this is a good indicator that your body is more alkaline. If the water cure and juicing doesn't help and you are a meat eater, back off to a 80% fruits and vegatables to 20% whole grain breads and free range meats. Add Tumeric and Cayenne to any meat you eat for flavor for more antioxidant effect. Slow down and then stop drinking diet drinks and sugary drinks over a period of several weeks. Get to apoint where most of your food is raw and organic. This is a process and may take years of coaching your body to accept this way of life but it will cure more than just your legs. This more healthy body you will be creating will be a great vehicle to carry your soul around for the rest of your life.\n\nGet at least one hour of sunlight every day. If you can walk barefoot in sand even better. Let the sun heal you. Start doing out of doors activities that provide you with healthy aerobic exercises such as kayaking, rowing, swimming, or just walking. Your exercise should be an extension of who you are. \n\nIf you are still having pain after several weeks with the water cure, diet changes, and aerobic out of doors exercises, the sour truth about the healing properties of apple cider vinegar may be all you need to knock out your pain for good. Add a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of cinamon to strong juices ththree time a day before meals. Apple Cider Vinegar will also help you metabolize and provide your gut good flora \nwhile you are still working on reaching an optimal diet and exercise lifestyle. When your diet and exercise program are perfect, you can back off or eliminate apple cider vinegar but if you begin to notice cold or flu synptoms that amy occur as your body is adjusting to its new alkaline self, take a shot of apple cider vinegar with a teaspoon of cinnamon and cayenne three times a day until the cold or flu\nsymptoms are gone. \n\nYou might also consider accupuncture from someone who is the "real thing."\n\nIf you choose to take on these lifestyle changes to cure your leg pain, you might just end up a health nut but nuts are another good thing to add to your diet. Eat almonds and walnuts regularly. Add one Brazil Nut to your diet every day for heavy metal elimination. Try to become toxin free. Stop drinking dairy and swith to almond milk. Dairy plugs up the gut and is toxin ridden from dairy cows who have vaccinations, steroids, and other toxins pumped in them from birth. Imagine how toxic a human being would be who lived in America and you might get the idae about dairy.\n\nPerfect health is a journey and y

Don't drink milk or tea and coffee. Milk is very bad as it will irritate your stomach further and tea and coffee will dehydrate you. Stick to small sips of water and when you think you can handle it some boiled/steamed rice until you are back to feeling like proper food. STay away from sugary juices and softdrinks as well. If you have diarrea one trick i have heard is to peel and cut an apple and let it go brown and eat it some of it, the pectin can help with your bowels. I hope you feel better soon.

i recommend certain types of organic teas without any sugar. there are teas for fasting and detox which do the trick. They usually contain dandelion and dont taste the best.
