Posted by admin on Nov 4, 2009
I have had heart burn for 3 or 4 days and it doesn’t seem to want to go away. im not sure what to do about this. by the way. does milk help to get rid of it?
I think milk doesn’t help you to eradicate heart burn. If you have problem of heart burn you should try to find out that which the substances that act as causative agent to create heart burn.
For your help below I mention some food items that can cause heart burn and you should avoid them.
• Don’t use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as a home remedy. It can upset the acid/alkaline balance of the body and create a dangerous situation.
• Antacids can be effective but can contain undesirable ingredients not suitable for people with heart disease or high blood pressure. There is also thought that continued use of antacids can actually cause further stomach acid secretion.
• Eat slowly, chew thoroughly and relax during mealtime.
• Calcium carbonate contains Tums. It can be purchased as a powder and can function as an antacid.
• Don’t smoke. Nicotine adversely affects the tone of the esophageal sphincter muscle and can directly contribute to heartburn.
• Be careful while taking other medication and make sure that they are not a cause of your heartburn
Yes, don’t eat spicy food, especially at night.
References :
Limit your caffeine and chocolate intake. Avoid greasy/fatty foods. These foods will help to increase the flow of acid product.
Limit carbonated beverages. The bubbly carbonation can expand your stomach.
Limit spicy or heavy foods such as gravies.Do not eat later than 2 hours before your bedtime. The effects of a full stomach and lying in a reclining position tend to make heartburn worsen.
Try drinking chamomille tea or diluted sports drinks.
