Baking soda in water kills heartburn immediately once I get it but when I was taking protonix as prescribed I never got heartburn. For long term management eat healthy natural foods and avoid the ones you know will trigger heartburn.

Apple Cider Vinegar helps a ton. Tbsp in a small glass of water. Give it a try. Also good for blood pressure.

Peppermint tea is a good natural remedy. Good old-fashioned baking soda is a great instant fix but I would use it sparingly. As far as medications go, I much prefer H2 blockers like Zantac over PPIs. They are much cheaper and were for me at least as effective. The only downside is you don't get the once per day dosing like you get with PPIs. |

I usually swig a shot of baking soda and water (arm and hammer) or do a table spoon of basalmic vinegar. Instant relief. The vinegar is healthier but its difficult to do.

candied ginger works wonders. i also bought a concoction of apple cider vinegar/ginger juice from a local health food store, that is probably the most disgusting thing i've ever tasted. but it works as well

Wow total retard answers. Peppermint.lol
First do you really have heartburn did you get a egd? Did you try non med rx Lose weight. Yes you are fat. All gerd pt are. No alcohol, nicotine, caffiene, chocolate, mints. No eating 6 hours before bed. Raise head of bed Pepcid or zantac are h2 blockers and will not work as well as a ppi which is what prilosec is. Talk to your doc about changing your med |

You lose those 15-20lbs, I'll bet you won't need to rely on any of these remedies. Your heartburn will probably go away. Medications are for pussies and fat people.

Quoted:
I quit smoking a little over a year ago Shortly after I started getting heartburn. Tried Tums and Rolaids for a while then started taking Prilosec otc. Prilosec worked great, but it took a while for side effects to show up. I had a constantly runny nose all my joints ached and just felt tired. This went on for about 3 months. Turns out I stopped the prilosec and my nose stopped running in about 3 days and about 2 weeks later my joints started feeling better. I tried the Honey and cinnamon with lemon. Tried other OTC meds. I am only about 15 or 20 lbs on the heavy side. I am pretty much back to my pre quit smoking weight. I plan on going to a Gastro Dr. But wondering if anyone has some good natural cures? I am not sure if it was worse to smoke or take some of these OTC medicines. Change your diet. Cut out the fatty foods. |

Fix the problem that is causing the heartburn.
You are treating the symptom. Belching up acid is a sure sign that something is seariously wrong with your health. Lose that 20 pounds of blubber and stop eating junk food. |

Nexium works better than Prilosec - do the 14 day treatment and you will feel better. It worked really well for me.
