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!!!

Chamomile tea with honey is always good (and delicious!), but gargling with salt water ( a cup of warm water, a half teaspoon of salt) works best.  Tastes gross, but such is life.  \n\nMy housemate swears by chewing whole cloves of garlic, like six a day, when she's sick.  Makes you brush your teeth a lot, but helps your immune system.

I've had chronic heartburn, and though I'm not a doctor, I'm sharing with you advice my doctor has given me (and what has worked!)\n\n1.  For immediate relief, use Maalox.  Avoid Pepto Bismol, as it has something that irritates the stomach long term (my gastroenterologist told me that!).  For longer term use, use Priolosec.\n\n2.  Stop eating at least 3 hours before you get in bed.  A reclining position with food in your stomach irritates the esophogus.  You would be AMAZED at how much this helps.  Soda or alcohol before sleep is the WORST!\n\n3.  Limit intake of:  Alcohol, Caffience, Carbonated beverages, spicy foods, acidic foods, aspirin (or advil, motrin).   Honestly, I can't stick to this one -- but I've been pretty good keeping #1 and #2, and it's kept my heart burn at bay.  Be good keeping 1 & 2 and you can cheat on 3 -- at least, that's worked for me.\n\nGood luck!

NO. Indigestion or heartburn, which is it you have? They are different. Indigestion makes you feel bloated and really off, nauseaous, usually happens when you over eat. If this is the case let me know and I will send you some remedies.\n Heart burn is gastric reflux, when the acids rise up the oesophagus. If this is what you have a simple cure is mixing a teaspoon of Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Powder/Soda) in warm water and drinking it down. You will let out a huge belch from the gas produced and feel much better. Sodium Bicarbonate is an alkaline substance and the interaction with you acidic stomach will neutralize the excess and create gas which is then expelled as a belch. this is a temporary relief measure and if you get chronic heartburn you should get it checked out.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath

As long as you are not lactose intolerant, acidity can usually be eliminated by drinking an 8 oz. glass of milk along with or following a meal, or when symptoms present themselves.  If symptoms occur later--some time after a meal or snack--an over-the-counter remedy such as Tums can be used.  If that does not relieve the symptoms then I would suggest Pepcid* with a full glass of water (8 oz.), as long as it is not contraindicated with any prescription medications you are already taking (check with your pharmichist or physician) no more than twice a day.  If symptoms  still persist, try Prilosec* once a day for about two weeks.  If You still have problems after that, see your physician because you probably have a serious problem.

Calcium (Ca+), which is in Tums antacid tablets. I also tried calcium supplemets, and they worked quite well too. I usually feel acid reflux when I overeat at night, or have citrus fruits or fried foods at night. So simply avoiding those situations for a few days will work miracles, and you don't have to strain your body with excessive medications.

My Acupuncturist/Dr of Oriental Medicine had me start taking some digestive enzymes to cure some gas and bloating. I have been taking Rainbow Light Advanced Enzyme System (Plant Based) before each meal and it has helped a lot.\n\nhttp://www.vitacost.com/RainbowLightPlantSourceAdvancedEnzymeSystem\n\nI would also steer clear of "sugar free" items that use sugar alcohols as a replacement as those can cause LOTS of gas.

The symptoms of acid reflux are greatly reduced if you do not eat meals that are high in fat and/or seasoning. Prepackaged foods are horrible for reflux like mac&cheese,T.V. dinners, Ramen noodles, and boxes of flavored noodles and rice. Try to stay away from foods like these as well as tea, coffee, lemonade and artificially flavored drinks(like Koolaid). Taking a Probiotic everyday also helps. You do need to heal the esophagus with medication if you have had it a while. In some cases surgery is necessary.

my hubby suffered from acid reflux hiatal hernia for nine years, being jerked round with doctors with well lets try this diet, or lets try this medication, or lets try this combination of medicine. \ni had seen on tv about a 12 year old boy who suffered from the same condition as hubby. \nwell to make a long story short, hubby had surgery in april of this year to correct a hernia. and has had no ill effects since. hes been enjoying food again such as regular soda, chocolate, and spicy foods\nso my suggestion to you is:\ngo ...no RUN to your doctor and tell him youd like to get this problem taken care of once and for all. because if things got as bad as they did with hubby nothing BUT surgery will help you\n\nGOODLUCK, and let me know what happens if you dont mind

Peppermint... or Ginger Ale\nSometimes the best thing is to just upchuck..\nAnd  I forgot about it because it doesnt work all the time - but the "warm rag on your tummy" does work sometimes (usually for the gassy feeling)

can make a home remedy if you haven't got any over the counter products. This remedy is used by the aid workers in poor countries. Make rice but use twice the amount of water needed. Drain off the excess water, add a little salt and a little sugar the the rice water and cool it. You can take a couple of tablespoons every hour till it gets under control. The sugar and salt are to help balance your electrolytes. Hope this works for you.
