The heartburn thread: Who suffers from it?

[biteme]

I first noticed it at 31, started drinking aloe vera and cutting back on the culprit foods. I have it now, it's more of a nuisance than anything, but I don't think it's a good idea to go around with a burning chest 4 or 5 times a day. I'm gonna try Tums after I eat a large meal and anything that causes heartburn which is just about everything.

Nexium works wonders.

I have never had heartburn but I take Nexium for a different kind of Reflux (laryngopharyngeal reflux)

i get it sometimes, I always have zantac on hand just in case.

I go in phase right now poping 1-2 zantac's a day.

It burns when I pee, think its related?

Nexium, Protonix, Prilosec (OTC)

Maintaining a proper PH balance with the foods you eat will help as well.

i have it real bad, totally fucking sucks. nexium or max pepcid ac for me. the other stuff doesn't do anything for me. definitely no caffeine or spicey foods for me. it's hard. alot of stuff i don't eat or drink anymore.

it wasn't heart burn, but I had a problem once where no matter what I swallowed (shut up) it would sort of "bounce' right back up and then go down like a brick covered in broken glass.

That lasted about 3 days. Have no idea what that was as it hasn't come back.

sucks. now when I travel i bring heartburn meds just in case.
