To stop the burning sensation and the bad taste that follows, use remedies for immediate relief. To avoid the heartburn from returning there are some changes that can be made immediately or over a period of time.
Options for immediate symptom relief:
- Over the counter medications
- A couple tablespoons of aloe vera juice
- One tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- Eat a carrot, potato, or an apple
- Peppermint tea or candy
- Club soda or baking soda mixed in water
Quick changes:
- Eat smaller meals
- Loosen pants or belt to relieve pressure on the stomach
- Avoid foods that are known triggers
- Don’t bend over too soon after eating
- Remain upright and don’t lie down immediately after a meal
Long-term relief of heartburn:
- Stop smoking-it increases stomach acid production
- Reduce weight-to relieve pressure on the stomach
The types of foods most likely to trigger heartburn include fatty fried foods, alcoholic beverages, caffeine, spicy foods, and chocolate. Keeping a journal of what you eat and when heartburn strikes will help to identify personal triggers. Stress can cause heartburn because the hormones that are released trigger acid production.
Untreated heartburn can damage the esophagus, causing burns and sores.
