4 Things You Should Know About Heartburn Help and Heartburnz

Here are 4 tips about heartburnz.

It always fascinates me that you can always find something new about a topic if you look hard enough, and these 4 tips are useful reminders.

I struggled to find a reliable source myself - epecially for heartburn help, so I decided to collate some tips for you. I hope that you find them both useful and interesting.

Tip #1

Many people generally assume that the best way to treat acid reflux is with antacids because they are specially designed to neutralize acids in the stomach.  While this is true and antacids are very effective against acid reflux, the problem is the very short amount of time that antacids actually neutralize the acid in the stomach.  There are other prescription drugs or over the counter drugs that help fight of the effects of acid reflux, one being histamine antagonists.These histamine antagonists work a little differently than antacids by helping fight the actual chemical that creates acid in the stomach. 

Tip #2

When the muscle that is supposed to prevent stomach acid from escaping up into the esophagus gets to weak to do its job and the acid keeps on gushing back to the esophagus, that is called acid reflux. It is a lot like heart burn but a lot more uncomfortable as generally there is much more acids and pepsins pushing back to the esophagus.

Tip #3

It is worth cutting back on tomato based foods like chilli, pasta and pizza sauces with tomatoes in it as tomatoes are known to cause an increase in stomach acids, which in turn can trigger heartburn and GERD symptoms. 

Tip #4

There are three different types of antacids with magnesium, calcium, and aluminum based products.  Generally, doctors will tell you that calcium based antacids like Tums or Rolaids are not good for heartburn because they release gastrin, a chemical that can assist the release of acid.  If you are having side effects like constipation or diarrhea it is probably due to a reaction from magnesium (causes diarrhea) or aluminum (causes constipation).  Some individuals will rotate the use of these two to alleviate this problem.

That’s it for the tips, I hope that you liked them.
