Heartburn remedies are something almost everyone searches for sooner or later. It is no respecter of persons as it effects young children and old men alike.
Have you ever noticed the foods you love the most are the ones that really stoke that fire within you. You can almost bet it was not the spinach or the Lima beans that has you blowing smoke.
It was probably not the water you had with the taco that is causing you that little discomfort.
Oh you say there is nothing little about the acid churning in your stomach until it can no longer be contained. Until it can set fire to your throat.
The condition is bad enough during the day but don't you just love it when it attacks at night?
Over the counter heartburn remedies usually offer little "real" help.
Sure, you can grab a roll of tums and get temporary relief in some cases. Sometime I wonder if they are not in some way time released to give a false security.
A security that dwindles at the same moment the burning starts back. Perfectly timed to the exact moment you almost get back to sleep. Almost being the key here.
By now you are no longer worried with heartburn remedies and more focused on how to get that fire extinguisher down your throat.
Maybe swallowing a water hose would help?
Take it from someone that fully understands the pain and discomfort you are going though. Heartburn is just as miserable as you know it is.
Seems like no matter how many foods I pass on. No matter how many times I chew. No matter what time of day or night I eat. Sooner or later, okay often, I find myself self destructing from the inside out.
Sometimes it is a "discomfort". Other times it sets the fire alarm over my bed off.
Well, I might have stretched that one a little bit. The shrill shriek is actually me cursing my wife, as I rebound from a quick elbow to the ribs, followed by the instruction to get up and see if I can find something to curtail the God awful moaning coming from my side of the bed.
The wife is a loving women. Great mother. Our children, friends, and extended family love her to no end. I find myself both lucky and blessed to have her. Still.
This is the same women that adds the extra three drops of Texas Pete to the chili. You would think the first half a bottle would have been enough.
Although she is quick to point out the twelve am snack of leftover chili is not the best of ides. Sure glad I didn't share the fact she is also out of cherry cheese cake, Little Debbie's, and Mountain Dew.
Some things are better discovered after I am out of the house.
Plain and simple. Over the counter options are not a long term option. Many prescribed solutions are not the solution. Many are not properly tested.
For those with an iron will, there is a possibility of lessening frequency with diet changes.
For those, like me, who have a hard time turning down those things that we know will start a fire, there are several items you more than likely already have in the kitchen cupboard that make the best heartburn remedies.
