Don't eat after 6pm. Sleep upright inclined if you have to. Use products like Zantac found at your drug stoes. Go see a doctor!\nYou will have to be careful what you eat,stay away from caffeine altogether.

...Check with the doc to see if you have acid reflux....you can go the natural healing route, which would be to alter your lifestyle and some of your food choices. Cut back on caffeine, acidic foods, wine/alcohol, hot spicy--and eat more alkaline foods, no smoking. There is a natural seaweed called Bladder Wrack that will cauterize stomach ulcers if you have any...better and longer lasting than tagamet...

Pilates is an excellent way to flatten your stomach, strengthen your core muscles and feel more energized.\n\nA healthy, whole-food diet (lots of fruits and veggies, much less fats and processed foods) is also a good way to reshape your body.\n\nBe sure to drink at least 64 oz of water a day.

my husband had acid reflux...tried the diets, tried the nexium, the prevacid, etcetera, nothing helped. now his acid reflux has turned into a hiatal hernia, and hes having surgery in April to correct the problem.

Well you can't do anything to treat the hiatal hernia on your own. Since you already know to go to the doctor (by the way how do you know you have a hiatal hernia?), you are probably interested in decreasing some of the symptoms related to reflux. \n\nLosing weight (if overweight but you can't do that in a weekend obviously), avoiding alcohol, chocolate, citrus juice, and tomato-based products and avoiding large meals in general. Wait 3 hours after a meal before lying down and elevate the head of the bed 8 inches when you do.\n\nCan't give you info for pharmacologic therapy (not a good idea online). But if you are really hurting, I suggest calling your physician.

Test the common antacids (bases) to see which neutralize (turn to salt and water) best (if). \n\nAcid the strength of stomach acid is easy to mix and safe.\n\nGet an "A".

it sounds strange, but for real, try this exercise. Lay on your back, arms out to the sides. Bend your knees up and with your feet together, make figure eights in the air. Do as many as you can every day.  It tightens your stomach muscles.

Swimming is the best exercise. Do stomach crunchs (where you go up half way) to flatten your tummy.

Abdominal Crunch\nThese are excellent for strengthening the abdominal muscles and reducing a protruding stomach. Lie on the floor. Hold your legs at a 90-degree angle with your lower legs parallel to the floor. (You can also place your legs over a bench or a piece of furniture.) With arms at your side (or on shoulders or behind ears as in the curl-ups), inhale slowly as you raise your shoulder off the floor, forcing your chest muscles toward your legs. Pull your hips upward, hold for a second, then exhale slowly and roll down to the starting position. Do up to twenty-five repetitions.

Try these \nCrunches\nLie on your back with your hands crossed across your chest or with your fingers on the sides of your head. Place your feet on the floor with legs bent. To begin the exercise, lift your torso, lifting shoulder blades off the floor and crunching your rib cage towards your lower belly. Hold for two counts, then lower slowly to the starting position. Repeat for 16 slow repetitions, take a brief rest and repeat for 1 or more sets.\n\nReverse Crunches\nLie on your back with knees bent, feet a few inches off the floor. Slowly contract the abdominals, focusing on rotating the pelvis up and bringing your knees towards your rib cage. Concentrate on letting your abs do the work. Hold at the top then slowly lower your knees to the starting position. Repeat for 16 reps, less if you feel your lower back arching off the ground. Rest and repeat for 1 or more sets\n\n\nBall Crunches\nLie face-up with the ball resting under your mid/lower back. Cross your arms over the chest or place them behind your head. Contract your abs to lift your torso off the ball, pulling the bottom of your ribcage down toward your hips. As you curl up, keep the ball stable (i.e., you shouldn't roll). Lower back down, getting a stretch in the abs, and repeat for 1 set 12-16 reps.\n\nOblique Crossover Crunches\nLie on your back with knees bent, hands behind your head. Keeping lower back pressed into the floor, lift your shoulder blades off the floor and then curl your upper body diagonally across your body towards your right knee. Contract your abs and obliques as hard as you can at the top of the movement. Lower back down and repeat for 16 reps on the same side before switching sides. Do 1 or more sets.

after every meal, consume a teaspoon of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR...  i know this sounds strange... but try it... it really works... heartburn is truly caused because our stomachs don't have ENOUGH acidity in them, thus our stomach freaks out constantly trying to produce more and more acid... AVOID things like milk, as this will make your stomach produce even MORE acid... the apple cider vinegar will help by restoring your stomachs acidy to a normal level, therefore it won't be creeping back up your esophagus giving you heartburn!!!! please try this, because it really does work!!!!

I mix about 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a little glass of water.  It works fast and amazingly well.  My mom always hands out peppermint candy when someone complains of heartburn.  Also, chew chew chew your food really well as digestion actually begins in the mouth.  Drinking too much liquid with your food can dilute your stomach acid.
