Apple Cider Vinegar and licorice
Jacob in Los Angeles, CA -
Apple cider vinegar cured my heartburn like a miracle. Get the natural kind if you can, with sediment at the bottom of the bottle. (If you don't live near a natural foods store, just buy the regular kind at a grocery store and it will work almost as well.) Dissolve 2 tablespoons in a cup of water and sip it slowly once a day as a preventative. Or take 2 tablespoons straight for immediate relief. (It will burn for a few seconds, then after 5 minutes you'll belch and then feel a lot better.) This changed my life. Now I can eat and drink whatever I want, and sleep all night without any disturbance.
I also drink a cup of licorice tea everyday, because the person who suggested the vinegar said licorice would help heal a damaged esophagus. I don't know if it's helping, but I sure feel a lot better!

Gas Relief for Babies
Patricia in Humboldt, Kansas, USA -
During the '70's and '80's I had 6 babies all of which had tummy aches and gas. I would drop a peppermint disc into a warm bottle of water, swish it around a bit and give it to my baby. This remedy never failed once, it proved true every time.

Thinking about Partying? Think Again
John Bennett in Toledo -If you get heartburn real easy, you might as well forget about partying, especially when the holidays come around. Check out this list that the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders says triggers heartburn:
-Holiday Feasts
-Late Night Snacks
-Too Much to Drink
-Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco
-Tea, coffee, cola, and other drinks with caffeine.
-Chocolate
-Milk
-Citrus fruits and Juices
-Peppermint
-Tomatoes and tomato products
-Fried fatty and spicy foods.
Geezz there goes my favorite foods :(

Heartburn remedy
Nancy in Miami FL -I got excited when I read an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine (years ago) that documented the power of saliva to ease heartburn. It recommended sucking on a lozenge or chewing sugarless gum.
I was suffering from heartburn on a daily basis, sometimes even with the medications. I was taking over the counter acid suppressors and decided to try chewing gum after breakfast and after lunch. It has been very successful for me.
I tried to eliminate the after dinner heartburn tablets, and can successfully stave off heartburn all evening, but sometimes the heartburn comes in the middle of the night, (and my husband does not want to raise the head of the bed,) so I take a heartburn tablet before dinner or at bedtime to counter a middle of the night attack.
Who could have guessed getting rid of heartburn could be so easy?

Relief for heartburn
CK in Connecticut -I don't know it this is relief for heartburn, or upset stomach, but I always drink a glass of milk and it goes away. I know alot of people can't drink milk, but milk helps me.
When I had morning sickness I always ate crackers first thing in the morning to control it.
But my daughter got heartburn bad when she was pregnant and all the Malox and Tums in the world wouldn't help.
