I eat an organic diet,I avoid acid foods etc....WHAT THE h**l CAN I DO??????

Answer 1

I sympathize! It must be very difficult.

What you could try first of all is to eliminate from your diet the following:

- bread and pastries. Choose spelt or rye bread. The reason is that most wheat is nowadays genetically modified and our digestive systems can't cope with the new flour. Some people don't react at all, some (like you and me) react badly. My heartburns stopped the day I went over to spelt bread.

- coffee

- mint, peppermint

- spicy foods and very fat foods

Eliminating at least those should help greatly.

What helps against heartburns and is completely natural is Bentonite or any other form of pure clay (= clay that you can ingest).

Mix one teaspoonful of clay in a little water (or you can even get clay in capsules) stir well and take 15 minutes before a meal.

Hope that helps!

Take care!

Try sage tea,or chamamile.Make sure you drink lots of water.Nothing with citric,or probably soda.Try to calm down.Part of it is nerves.I have a family member with it.
