I suffer from chronic heartburn, I woke up at 2:30 a.m. and I felt like my chest and throat were on fire. I did not have any anti-acids so, I tried yellow mustard, the heartburn got worse for about 5 mins.then it completly went away. I have tried this several times after that and it works great.(My grandmother who is from Kentucky uses this all the time)

Hello, I just tried this about 6 minutes ago. A lot of people going here must think that this is some kind of joke. It's not. I felt like my chest was gonna combust, it was umbarable. So I started searching up some stuff, and ended up here.

It worked. I'm so pleased. Me enjoying the taste of mustard is just a bonus :P

Apples

A very good remedy for constipation and heartburn is: peel and core apples (sweet or sour) put them in a freezer ziploc bag (add 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice 2 tablespoons of water/gal. bag) and freeze. They come out like really good applesauce and are well worth the time spent. Here in Ohio when winter rolls around the apples are 3x the price and have no flavor. If you suffer from chronic constipation and heartburn they will especially help if you eat before bedtime. Hope this helps someone. God Bless.

I've suffered chronic heartburn for 8 years and finally got myself down to one OTC PPI every other day but that really was not enough.I had heard that PPI's are bad for the bones. I am a 54 y/o woman, so I just had to get off this stupid pill. I have tried and tried to get off the proton pump inhibitor but always had to go back. Well I am so glad I found this info! I got the organic made in USA apple cider vinegar. 2 TEAspoons in 8 oz. 3 times a day.A little honey makes it quite refreshing on a hot day. I have it first thing in the morning, around midday and before dinner. No heartburn and I can even enjoy my cup of coffee and a before dinner beer. wow! It's only day 3 but usually by this time I am chewing antacids like crazy. have not even had one! I told my gastro guy I was going to do this and he said go ahead, it won't hurt you. I can't wait to tell him i am cured!! (fingers crossed)

Just a follow up on the ACV comments I made.. I had a great first 5 days on ACV then heartburn started to creep back in. I wes so disappointed. I took one heartburn pill one day, skipped a day and then heartburn OTC H2 blocker again. All the while taking the 2 teaspoons organic raw ACV 3 times a day. Now I've been 3 days without any medication, just the ACV and things seem to have settled down and I think my body is adapting. It is good! I'm guessing that heartburn could have been part of the "rebound" of long term PPI use. I'm being careful in my diet and will stick with the ACV.So if you are just starting on the regimen, do give it a chance and expect a few bad days as you adjust. Good luck everyone!

I had the MOST horrible heartburn when I woke up this morning, and I had nothing for it. I found this website and the suggestion for mustard and I've got to say, I'm pleasantly surprised. I'd never heard of using mustard before, which is unfortunate as it would have been extrememly helpful during my past two pregnancies! But I used 1/2 tsp as one of the responses suggested and ended up needing to use more about 20 minutes later. So in total used about one and a half teaspoonsful, and at first, going down, it burns like crazy! But it's well worth the extra burn. It works really well at getting rid of heartburn and it's probably the least expensve option you'll find, not to mention if needed in the middle of the night, you don't have to spend 10-20 minutes mixing a concoction of different ingredients. Just a spoonful of mustard does the trick!

I suffer from all kinds of gastro ailments. One night i couldn't sleep with the heartburn. The prevacid wasn't helping at that point and i felt very bad. I remembered I had read about apples for heartburn, and I thought, "what is there to lose." right after eating the apple I fell sound asleep! Thought someone might find this of interest.

Baking Soda

Every time I get heartburn I always put a teaspoon of baking soda in about 3 ounces of warm water and chug it down. Gets rid of it every time. My grandmother taught me this.

For heartburn, try cold milk, two sips at a time.

Carbonated Beverages

I had heartburn once and treated it quickly with ginger ale. It only took less than half a mouthful and worked as soon as I swallowed it. I believe the carbonation was the reason it worked and not the ginger. If this is so then other carbonated beverages like cola and carbonated water should also work. I would be interested if someone could try these out and get back to me. Thanks and hope this works.

Carbonated Beverages

HI U DON, , , , , , , , sit down and let me tell you a story. The reason Coca-Cola bottles were originally designed the way they were was because of the pressure the carbonation built up in the bottle. The pH of a coke in the 40's and 50's was 2.4 and that's quite acidic. If you had an upset stomach then your mom gave you a coke to drink. As kids, we had contests to see who could drink a 6 oz coke without stopping. No one could because the CO2 came out your nose, ears, eyes and everywhere.

Soda's today have very little carbonation and will not settle your tummy. They contain corn syrup and will only give you a butt. Get a kick out of today's young folks who think history began when they were born. We had an advantage because we had parents that told us stories of the the past.

Time is neigh and our culture is changing and passing me by.

Many thanks for this website. I had heartburn like 4-5 times a day before I started using ACV. After two months of taking it, I may only have very very minor heartburn once a week. I took a tbsp of ACV with honey and warm water. Once I took 4-5 tbsp for my flu a few days. But now my teeth can't stand for it. I felt like they were going to crack even though I was not eating. So I switched to less than 1 tbsp and added molasses for my grey hair this morning. I also made the homemade toothpaste to remineralize my teeth. I just tried last night and I don't feel like they are going crack now. I also did the coconut oil pulling. Lets see the result later.

I find that it helps to drink the ACV water through a straw--that way it bypasses the teeth.

Ginger

I have heartburn for months. The medicine gave me allergy. I drank strong ginger tea to temporary cure (immediately) normally. But it has sugar and I don't want to drink too much sugar. So I made my own ginger tea. I blended (blendtec or vitamix) the whole ginger with water. Keep it in the fridge. Pour about 1 cup and add 1 cup of water to bring it to boil. Drink it in the morning and night before bed. I felt a lot better, no heartburn at all. I don't know how long to take to cure the heartburn. I have tried a couple days only.

Eliminate Coffee

My hubby was having issues with heartburn and acid reflux, he thought he was having a heart attack at one point. He went to a doc in Canada and after she checked him over she asked if he drank a lot of coffee and he said yes. She told him to try not drinking coffee for a week and if that didn't help come back and see her. Well, as it turns out it did help. Kick the coffee and see how you feel in a week ;o}
