   dont overeat, dont eat 3 hours before bed, no spicy food, and go to doctor for drugs, you may have something more serious

   Yes. Prevacid and similar drugs work wonders. See your doctor for a prescription.

   Change your eating habits; take an antacid or sometimes surgery if needed.

   YES THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO RID YOUR HEARTBURN I’VE CUT DOWN ON MILK AND MAYONAISE AND THAT HELPED BUT MY VA DOC’S GOT ME ON OMEPRAZOLE AND THAT HELPS TOO
   TOO MUCH CREAM AND SUGAR WAS MY PROBLEM

   stop eating anything fatty, acidic, milky, chocolate… Everything nice. Saturated fats are very bad.
   Also take antacids regularly and water, that will dilute all the badness going on.

   No cure but learn to know what foods set it off and I always find a small glass of milk is very soothing.

    You need to stop eating meat and dairy, some items that you are eating are just not meant for food.

    Glad you asked that. I had a great deal of trouble with acid reflux a few years ago. I got a prescription drug, very expensive, which helped a lot, but still allowed the occasional episode. I also gave up coffee (still miss it) and modified my diet quite a bit to reduce fats and acidic foods. Then when my doctor said she would not renew the prescription without my coming to see her, and I didn’t want to, I just quit the expensive prescription drug. And I stopped having occasional episodes! Apparently I had revised my diet to the point where I was no longer causing it, and the only thing causing the episodes was the "come down" effect not long before it was time to take another pill. In effect, the pills had been CAUSING the very thing they were prescribed to control!

    Hyper acidity can be controlled by careful eating habits.Avoid acidic foods especially sour items.Avoid lime,lemon,orange and all citrus variety cool drinks/juices.Donot have a spicy food or food containing too much chillies.Have reasonable exercise like brisk walking.Drink more pure water than bottled drinks.

    ya it’s called live a more healthy life style……?????what do i mean…..Don’t smoke,drink carbonated drinks such as soda, cut out really spicy food such as franks red hot sauce, do not eat 1 hour before going to bed and just try to make a plan and stick to it……I got this when i was 18 and i learned if i cut out the spicy crap i could slurge once and awhile, but it’s more than hot sauce it’s all sauce’s and sausage, hot peppers, banana peppers, caffine in genral is bad….and thats about it yeah it might take you a few years before you can start to enjoy those foods again but if you behave your self eventualy you can do some of those things with out having to worry about the hartburn at night and that burning in your throat…

    There’s no cure, but ask your Dr. for the medication he recommends. Tums and Rolaids won’t take care of the discomfort.
