The past few months I have been having terrible heartburn, I have tried everything so far from the chemist but dont like all that rubbish inside my body. Do anyone know a natural heartburn cure?

I have been told by a doctor by continuing taking Nexium it is a road to cancer. He has suggested an operation that corrects the problem with a short term recovery. He has claimed he has done several including people over 80 sucessfully. Has anyone had or heard of this type surgery and the sucess rate?
We have done some research and was told these prescription pills can lead to cancer. One Doctor has told us the drug companies will admit this.
We are looking for comments and suggestions and it seems to be common knowledge that cancer could be very likely if a correction of the problem is not taken care of with an operation

I’ve never had heartburn before, and suddenly I felt a cramping sensation in my chest after I had consumed quite a bit of cantaloupe. It lasted about half an hour, a pain burning and running up to my throat (I think that’s heartburn?) I know that acidic foods cause acid reflux/heartburn, but after checking a few websites it says cantaloupe should HELP heartburn. Has anyone experienced heartburn after cantaloupe?

I never used to but now even one piece usually gives me heartburn. I love chocolate so this is quite upsetting. What else could be going on here?

Almost a year ago I started getting pretty bad stomach pain high up just under my rib cage. Soon after I also felt chest pain daily (like a woman in a stiletto standing on my chest). The pain interrupted my daily life. I saw a gastrointerologist and I was told it was just bad heartburn (after many expensive tests). I have been on prevacid, aciphex, and zantac. None of which made it completely go away. Then he suggested it was stress induced. I started seeing a psychiatrist and took xanax and a variety of other anti-anxiety medications. While the heartburn did not go away it was infrequent enough that I could have a normal life again but the side-effects were terrible. I finally stopped all of the meds but the chest and stomach pain (with some nausea) are back. At this point I am lost about what to do. I am not sure if it was anxiety causing the problem to begin with or not. Has anyone had a problem like this before? What should I do to get rid of heartburn?

I like spicy foods, and now that I’m pregnancy I seem to crave it from time to time, my dad and my husband tell me not to eat it, but will it hurt my baby in any way, or is it only based on the discomfort it will cause me in a few hours?

I’m 5′1 170, 24 year old female. I went into Veganism 2 months ago in order to become a healthier person. I eat at 8am breakfast, 11 am lunch 4:30pm lunch, and 11pm other food if im Hungery. I get Acid reflux heart burn every morning at 730am, and at night 11-12am. I work a lot so don’t excercise much, although my schedule does allow it. I work at 1230pm and get off at night. My diet consists of spinach, onion, garlic, lentils, tofu, potatos, spinach, bread. olive oil, tomatoes, nuts, bananas, apples, quinoa. I don’t really snack on things throughout the day, nor do i drink 8 glasses of water a day. I really want to change my lifestyle, and I’m willing to do anything to treat my disorder. Soo i really need help. And I don’t want to go to the ER everytime I have an episode, I don’t have health coverage and it would make me financially drained. Help!

Hey everybody! I ate too many Cheez-itz and then I lied down. Now I have heartburn that is radiating my knee caps. (Haha, don’t you just love Juno?) So anyways, I was hoping maybe someone would have a way that I could quickly get rid of earburnn without leaving my house.
