been awake all night for the second night on the trot with the most evil heartburn, never ever get heartburn so am a bit worried, have tried milk, dry bread and rennies, but its not going ........ i've been looking at what i've eaten, and the only thing i can think of is i bought some activia yoghurt cos it was on offer, at asda, never eaten it before, thought it would make a change so wondering if that's it??? anyway, has anyone got any miraculous cures ......... pleaseeeeeeeeeeee i'm getting desperate now .

Mr Sheds gets awful heartburn ... he swears by peppermint cordial and fizzy water.
Rennies aren't no good. He takes Ranitidine (Zantac) if it won't go awayLast edited by Two_Sheds; 11-10-2008, 06:46 AM.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb. -
Sympathy lynda.
It's not very nice, but when I get the really awful sort where I think I'm having a heart attack, I take a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a glass of fairly warm water. It goes immediately, so I know it's not the heart attack this time!!Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!Comment

thanks for that
i'm all out of peppermint cordial, *sucks a polo mint* well right now as close as i can get lol .... i noticed rennies aren't working , think i may have a trip to boots when they can be bothered to open, how inconsiderate that they don't open till 9 and i need them open now.

adds bicarb to the list ..... anyone got any miraculous herb things i can go and dig up in the garden? ....... hmmmmmm i guess i could try mint tea??Comment

try dandelion?
I quickly googled this, you may want to look into it a bit more: "Use herbs and spices that combat heartburn when cooking, such as garlic, ginger, dill, and caraway or fennel seeds. Teas like dandelion-root or chamomile may also help."All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

thanks i've just been looking too .... apparently celery is good too ..... right now as i haven't any of them,except fennel, which is nowhere near seeding ..... looks like i may have to dig up some dandelions lolComment

Try an infusion of mint or coriander as a hot cuppa.
(I think that's why they add coriander to so many spicy dishes).Life is too short for drama & petty things!

Hi ya - 2 caps of Cider vinegar in a small tumbler of water. Just sip it down. Taste awful, but works a treat.
Fingers crossed.

You can't grow it, but Gaviscon is great. I used to carry a bottle around with me everywhere when I was pregnant with No.s 2 and 3 (not together). I got so used to it I woud just drink it from the bottle (startled the ladies in Boots one day!!)
Gripe water (given to babies) is just fennel and alcohol, but if you don't have fennel.......TxComment
