Answer 12

Some people say milk...  I like cranberry apple juice does wonders... doc told me to try a small glass of that at night before bed and it has helped so much, my husbands started drinking it now for his heartburn and loves it!

Answer 13

Check with your midwife just to be sure but a little baking soda mixed in some water should do the trick. Not very tasty but the baking soda is an alkali and it will reduce the amount of acid in your tummy.

Answer 14

Take one or two teaspoons of natural apple cider vinegar and raw honey in a glass of distilled water before meals to prevent heartburn. This combination also promotes digestion and neutralizes any body toxins. In case the taste of vinegar is a problem, take natural apple cider vinegar tablets and wash them down with honey water.

I have a site that can really help you.

Answer 18

Hey sweetie... I would NOT recommend milk but the apple cider vinegar seems to be ok... here's a quote from a website, I'll put the link as my source so you can check out the whole article

"Don't make your problem worse with bad advice. You might have heard that some things, like milk or mints, are good for heartburn. Make sure the guy who gave you this advice doesn't try to sell you a bridge somewhere. What's wrong with milk and mints? Mints are one of several foods that tend to relax your lower esophageal sphincter, or LES, the little valve whose job it is to keep acid in your stomach—and the little lid that can often protect you even when you do overindulge.

And what's wrong with milk? It's this: Fats, proteins, and calcium in milk can stimulate the stomach to secrete acid. "Some people recommend milk for heartburn—but there's a problem with it," says Dr. Klein. "It feels good going down, but it does stimulate acid secretion in the stomach."

Other foods that can relax your sphincter, and should be avoided to alleviate or prevent heartburn, include beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages, and tomatoes."

Answer 19

The best home remedy I know of is baking soda.  I think you mix one teaspoon with half a cup of water (it is on the side of the box). You might check with your doctor though especially if you have high blood pressure.

1 tsp of baking soda in 16 oz of water.  yucky...but it works!
