Any cures for heartburn in longer-term fasting?

(Bob M) #1

My wife and I are trying for a 4.5 day fast. She has heartburn, usually at night. Our fast is salt and some minerals, coffee in the morning, I use green tea or herbal tea if I have to (and pickle juice for me for the salt). When I was at KetoFest 2017, Megan Ramos discussed what they recommended for this, but I don’t remember what it was.

Is there anything I can recommend to her to alleviate her heartburn?

Here’s a tip @Chipmunk gave on another thread.

ACV. Yes👍

I take 2 tbls in the morning, diluted a good bit. Just chug it down.

At night I take 1 tsp if needed. Again diluted and chugged on down.

Try not to swill it in your mouth or stay on your teeth long. Just down it with about 6 oz water.

I have since gotten off all forms of antacids.

Interesting. I’ll let her know. Thank you.

My wife swears by peppermint tea for heart-burn Bob.
