About an hour ago I took two tylenol and an antibiotic I was prescribed for my root canal and now I’m having heartburn. I have taken two rolaids and drank a glass of milk and it still hasn’t gone away. Did the combination of medicine cause it? And is there anything else I can do to stop the heartburn?

I havn’t been able to eat recently because of a huge anxiety attack, and anytime I eat I get very gassy in the upper abdomen with heartburn. I’m just a very nervous person. Could the anxiety be causing this? Or could I be over-producing acid because of not eating much for 2 weeks?

i had a bad sinus infection and went to the doctors last week. i was prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days. i started taking them last thursday and i’ll be done with them on saturday. i started getting heartburn 3 days into taking them and get it after every meal.

so is it possible for amoxicillin to cause heartburn?
dadnbob: my pill bottle nor the sheet that came with it told me to take with food or a glass of milk.
after i started to get heartburn i decided i should take it with milk but that is not helping very much.

I almost never get heartburn. The only food in the world that will consistently give me heartburn every time all the time is oatmeal. I stopped eating it years ago when I found it was the culprit. I even tried it without sugar, cinnamon, or any additives.

Yep, straight up plain oatmeal even only 1/4 of a cup, will give me fierce heartburn.

Why is this? No other food causes this, not one, no meat, fruit or any other grain will cause heartburn.

Hello, I’ve been reading on the internet that a sensitivity or intolerance to a certain type of food (ie: corn, egg, soy, dairy, etc.) can actually cause heartburn. How exactly does this occur? Is the stomach just releasing an excess of stomach acid in an effort to digest the un-tolerated food protein? Or is it something to do with esophageal motility, peristalsis, or maybe release of bile or something?

Thanks for the help!

Is it possible that some prescribed medications can cause heartburn? When the meds have nothing to do with heart or digestion or stomach?
