How can I get rid of my continuous heartburn?

I get heartburn easily too. Eat smaller meals, and eat less spicey or fried foods. Take soda (carbonated water, not Coke or Pepsi) with your meal. \n\nKeep a box of acid-relief tablets in your car in case your need them after dining out.\n\nIf this is a problem that occurs mostly at night then eat early. Give your body time to digest food before you go to bed. Also try tilting your bed upwards by placing a brick under each leg on the end that you have your head. This keeps the content of your stomach away from your oesophagus.

Sometimes, when I eat very dry foods eg rice, it literally gets stuck in my chest, so I have to drink and make sure I take tiny bits and eat slow.   Acid reflux actually causes that feeling you mention...food or acid actually pushes up, opens the flap of your esophogus and food rises up.\n\nTry to eat less salty foods, foods with less preservatives, cut out pop and coffee and eat smaller meals and lots more plain cooked veggies and fresh fruit.  Avoid foods that cause you acid reflux.  For me GRAVY is the worst.  I don't get heartburn often but when I do it stays for hours.  \n\nI actually take a spoonful of vinegar, chase it down with water and it cures my heartburn better than any medication can.  Try and see if that helps.  Avoid lying down after eating.  If you can go for a walk and allow your food to digest.  \n\nI dont' know what to suggest as I know a lot of people that have acid reflux and nothing seems to help.  They do however eat a lot of the wrong types of foods which I think is a major cause.  Cut the spices and rich sauces out and have yogurts and soya milk and more healthier food choices and see if it makes a difference.  I know my body FEELS and thanks me when I give it good nutritious food! LOL

Treatment:-\n(1) Eating only small quantities of food at one time.\n(2) Walking or standing for about half an hour after each meal.\n(3) Sleeping propped up on pillows.\n(4) Eating a diet free of greasy, fried, highly seasoned foods.\n(5) Taking milk and antacids if symptoms similar to those of an ulcer are present.\n(6) Reducing, if the patient is overweight.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Hiatus hernia.

I have this same problem. I think the best way is to exercises. you have to do aerobic exercises that make your whole body sweat. And eat a lot healthier and less than what you are eating now. some of it in front can be bloating so you might want to also detoxify your body to make it go away. this is stuff they told me and so far everything has been working. I've lost about 12 pounds this year. oh and don't drink soda.

Heartburn. acid,reflux. Try Gaviscon,my friend.

the best type is gaviscon which has a type of seaweed in it, covering the acidic food in your stomach with a cool soothing liquid, neutralising the acid and preventing acid reflux. As the food was eaten several days ago an H2 inhibitor might be more effective which increases alkalinity of your intestine.(generic name ranitadine) It won't help straight away tho.stick to easily digestible foods, don'e eat too much fat or protein and try to eat some fruit and drink pleanty of veg to help get rid of the waste food inside.

Swan is almost right, but it is also a matter of what you eat.  You want to cut down on fat and protein because both of those types of foods are digested slower than carbohydrates, so since they stay in your stomach longer their is a greater chance for reflux (heart burn).  Also do not eat anything up to 3 hours before bed, because laying down increases your chance of reflux and if you have food in your stomach the chances of it happening will also increase.  Also cut back on caffeine, alcohol, quit smoking if you do that.  Caffeine and alcohol both increase acid secretion in the stomach thus creating an increased risk for reflux and smoking decreases your LES (lower esophageal sphincter - the gateway from your esophagus into your stomach) pressure, thus making it easier for things to reflux back up and cause heart burn.  Finally, like swan said do not lay down right after eating and try not to over eat.  That's should be a good start for now.  If you want more advice go see a dietitian and she/he will be be more than happy to come up with some tailored plans just for you.  Good luck.  \nAlso, on a side note, what you have is called a hiatAL hernia, not a hiatus hernia.

See a doctor before doing anything. Here is one idea:\n\n\nTreating acid reflux first involves medication.  Over the counter medications such as: antacids, Zantac, and Pepcid can ease the heartburn symptoms and provide temporary relief.  Prescription medications are usually the best option because they can also help your esophagus heal.  These are called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PIP).  They work to stop some of the digestive acid from being produced to stop acid reflux and give your esophagus a chance to heal.  Some of these medications are:  Prevacid, Nexium, and Prilosec.

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.

How high in your throat does it go? Do you wake up in the morning with a funny taste in your mouth? The most logical test to do for someone with intractable heartburn is to test and see if it really is heartburn, and not just something that has similar symptoms. Did they already give you a cup of barium and put you under an x-ray? What did they find? I would say you have Barrett's esophagus, but unless your doctor is blind or ignorant the endoscopy would have found it.\n\nhttp://www.gicare.com/pated/ecdgs40.htm\n\nYou could also have a hiatal hernia, which should show up on the barium test or a CAT scan. This is unlikely, because any competent gastroenterologist would already have checked for this one because it matches your symptoms pretty well.\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiatal-hernia/DS00099\n\nAnd heartburn meds don't work that well to begin with. Keep trying different ones because not everyone responds well to the same one. It may be normal heartburn, only you may be abnormally resistant to the medications!

Go see your Doctor.  Sounds like your esophagus is really irritated.  Probably a severe case of GERD.

Usally high acid.  Try liquid gaviscon immediately, and if this alleviates it, you probably need a proton pump inhibitor such as nexium, prilosec otc,etc..

Mints work! Trust me.  Do not drink milk, it is too thick and may curdle on your stomach.  Milk is better if you are having heartburn.  In addition to mints, nibble on saltines.

medicinal gasoline. It will really clean out your system. Try the Night Quill extra strength super unleaded.

The main cause of heartburn is not always something you ate.\nIt can be the result of what is commonly known as GERD which stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease.  This is a condition whereby acids in the stomach cause food you have eaten to partially back up into your esophagus (throat).  When this happens, heartburn is most often the result.\n\nYou may not necessarily have this problem since you say you've only had heartburn once and recently.  It is possible you ate something you've never eaten before and often times, it can be the result of of emotional distress as well, or at least, if we are feeling upset for some reason, this will not help.  Some people, when upset, may either eat more or less.  Neither is good and therefore both can cause the reflux of acids.\n\nI've been dealing with this problem for quite a while.  Sometimes I will have heartburn as it is most commonly called - even though it has nothing to do with the human heart itself.  I can go for days having heartburn and then it just disappears for several more days.\n\nAt first, I just took an antacid tablet - I prefer Rolaids Tropical Fruit (pink in colour) because I just don't like peppermint or spearmint which are common flavours of antacid tablets.\n\nSeveral months ago, I finally had to take a prescription medication called Pantaloc.  There are several medications that can be prescribed but unless your problem becomes frequent or worse than the episode you already had, I advise just trying an over-the-counter remedy.  You can also take an antacid in liquid form.  Just check with a pharmacist and ask what he/she thinks is best for you.\n\nYou say you haven't eaten well lately and this may be the only reason why you had one episode.  I advise that you try to regulate your diet and stay away from spicy foods and dairy products for a little while to see if this improves your situation.  Believe it or not, drinking milk does not solve the problem even though it was believed for many years, this was the answer to heartburn.\n\nI hope you will try a few different things on the basis of over-the-counter remedies first and see what happens.  If you improve your diet and take an antacid when necessary but the problem occurs more often or episodes of heartburn seem to worsen, then see a doctor.  You should rule out having a gastric ulcer for which you may require prescription medication.

Heartburn: eat a piece of bread to absorb the stomach acid.\nHiccups: Spoonfull of sugar poured down the back of your throat. Swallow it dry.

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.
