Proven Remedies For Relieving Heartburn & Indigestion
A sudden onslaught of heartburn and indigestion characterized by a telltale burning sensation is a most unpleasant experience whenever it happens. However, if it comes in the middle of the night the experience can be quite frightening and the thought that what gets rid of heartburn quickly will be uppermost in your mind. Here are a few proven remedies for relieving heartburn and indigestion. You might find one or two of them a bit “off the wall” but desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures and persistent heartburn is certainly in that category.
Continuous Heartburn
Continuous heartburn is, for many people, a real problem and usually associated with an everyday diet of the wrong foods but more especially so when taken during the evening before retiring. Prime causes of heartburn include the usual suspects of alcohol, caffeine, fizzy drinks, tomatoes and tomato based spicy sauces. Therefore, however tempting, you must help yourself by saying no to these suspect foods and by saying no you are on the way to a cure for heartburn. Duodenal Ulcers
Fifty or sixty years ago, eggs, milk and fish were seen as cures for duodenal ulcers and other digestive ailments. However, it is now known that the proteins and fats in a glass of milk exacerbate the problem and produce more acid. Therefore, it follows that it’s not a good idea to gulp down a glass of milk; it’s certainly not the best thing for heartburn.
Eating Habits
Not only what you eat but when you eat is often a contributory factor in assessing the causes of heartburn. Some medical professionals advocate no food after 6.00 pm which, whilst probably the ideal, is not always possible in our modern high-speed society. Nevertheless, the point is well made and it is certainly a good idea to stay away from food and drink for around two hours before going to bed.
Some remedies for heartburn
Some remedies for heartburn include various fruits and their juices with a banana being a favourite with many people as it relieves the discomfort in a similar manner to an antacid. Other fruits well worth trying are pineapple and pawpaw (papaya) as many folk see them, if not cures for heartburn, at least, very helpful in minimizing the uneasiness. Reduce Heartburn Symptoms
A favourite way to reduce heartburn symptoms is to immediately get a glass of water. Take the full glass, making sure it is cool rather than ice-cold, followed by half a glass of water containing 15ml (tablespoon) of baking soda. One caveat here; exercise some caution if you are pregnant or have high blood pressure.
If you are feeling adventurous, brave or really desperate, 5ml (teaspoon) of vinegar is said by some folk to bring instant relief if not a cure for heartburn. Apparently, one of the causes of heartburn is sometimes found to be a deficiency of acid rather than an excess. In these cases the acid in the vinegar counterbalances the acid deficiency in the stomach. Persistent Heartburn
If you suffer from continuous heartburn or perhaps persistent heartburn, it is always wise to consult your doctor; many of the symptoms sometimes associated with heartburn can, on rare occasions, be other far more serious problems which may need prompt medical attention. Therefore, do not assume that proven remedies for relieving heartburn & indigestion will necessarily solve all your digestive ailments.
