You can only eat so many TUMS in a day....they only provide relief for maybe 30 minutes then I find myself eating more. So, before I go asking my OB for a prescription for something stronger...thought I'd check with you on if you knew of any *natural* remedies/supplements that would provide some relief?
(for little Dixie and you, not for heartburn)|
Originally posted by Dr. Pain SG, stop eating TUMS, they have aluminum in them! Look for a product called "Absorb Aid" (may be one word), comes in capsules or powder...get the capsules...butt if you have an attack, open 2 caps in 4 oz of water.....this stuff is incredible...especailly for GERD (gastro-esophogial-reflux) Now, I'M NOT SAYING TAKE THIS, butt also look into "Blue Cohosh". OK? (for little Dixie and you, not for heartburn)DP |
I knew you would be able to help I'm assuming I can find all of this at GNC? It's right across the street from me and I'm going to zoom through there on my way to get my son from moms. I didnt know about the TUMS aluminum thing!

and say that most antacids will actually induce more heartburn. Heartburn is caused by a lot of things: overeating, hungar pangs, stress, pregnancy...|
Originally posted by Showdown Just to butt in and say that most antacids will actually induce more heartburn. Heartburn is caused by a lot of things: overeating, hungar pangs, stress, pregnancy...If I don't eat every three hours, my stomach starts sending messages to me that I'm due for a feeding; I get heartburn and start burping. It might be unusual, but I like to think of it as an internal alarm clock. |
Very interesting....thanks for sharing that. That totally makes sense. No more TUMS for me....and my heartburn has been much better thanks to that Absorb (thanks again Doc)...and I'm trying to eat something even if its crackers...every few hours now since reading this.
