Heartburn remedys?

(Kellyn ) #1

Anyone out there having heartburn with the ketogenic diet. I started Monday and have had burning in my chest. I took a rolaids last night and discovered it has sucralose. :frowning: I bought some over the counter Zantac but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what remedy they have used. Thanks

I’ve been dealing with heartburn for a very long time, recently I started a no coffee June to see if this will assist, I stopped taking my HB meds, though I did start taking apple cider vinegar sups too… It is helping some… if anyone else has any other ideas i’m down to listen as well…

Baking soda dissolved in warm water

Thanks! I will try that.

Just about half teaspoon in roughly 8oz. The taste is bearable and I’ve always found it very effective.

Baking soda and ACV are doing the opposite of each other. If you have too much acid for some reason, the baking soda will neutralize it. If the problem is that the pyloric valve isn’t closing correctly, the extra acid in the vinegar may help it to shut. Extra acid may also help digestion of some foods that you are not used to consuming.

I wonder if I fast for a few days with no heartburn meds and no ACV sups if my body will adjust its self…

I have some ACV, so I just drank a TBSP diluted with water. I will see if this helps. Thanks.

The ACV helped. Thanks for that suggestion.:grinning:

How about heartburn that’s caused by a hiatal hernia? Any long-term solutions out there?

It got a little better with keto but I still have troubles from time to time. I don’t think my problem is too little acid, since Tums do seem to give relief.

Two family members highly recommended Activated Charcoal to me. They both swore by it.

I’ve not had cause to try it for heartburn since that seemed to quit when I ditched wheat, but I have been using it once daily, for about a week, to whiten my teeth and it has made a noticable improvement, if anyone is interested in that extra factoid. :grin:

I have just noticed that i am starting to have heartburn after following this WOE since last Oct. My son-in-law got rid of his heartburn by going this route! Anyone else?

I get heartburn.

I have been getting heartburn and I think it is related to dairy consumption.
I have increased my dairy since this WoE and it seems related.
Going to stop all dairy to see if it is causing the problem.

I am coeliac and there is often a related dairy allergy/ intolerance that goes with gluten allergy so might be worth a thought.

Cured mine and I had suffered since pregnancy in 1995 and was taking meds twice daily.

Fresh lemon juice or ACV.

Thank you , I will try it too.

Ugh. The heartburn has been killing me. I had it prior to starting keto, but now it’s way more intense. I have it during the day and especially when I go to bed at night, which would seem to single to me a valve issue, but that’s a wild guess. Would ACV seem to be the more helpful route?
