BAD Heartburn????
I take a heartburn pill everyday. The reason I get heartburn is because I used to be bulimiac. Every once in a while I have this problem, but rarely. Anyways, sometimes when I forget to take my pill or when I’m out, the heartburn comes really bad (usually in the middle of the night) and I have to make myself puke. All the acid comes up and my heartburn is gone. It hurts so bad getting rid of it, but it works. I know this is unhealthy, but is it considered being bulimiac? Also, what others things can I do to cure my heartburn? Milk? I don’t want to take a pill for the rest of my life, so can it be cured????
This may sound stupid, but is it hurting my heart???
I started throwing the acid up, because my heartburn was so bad one time it DID make me throw up and I realized..Hey! it’s gone!
remedy answers:
First concentrate on how you will get off from being bolimic, it is just a matter of psychology my dear….always think positive love yourself…start slowly to eat little but good food, vegetable or fruits…then think that the food that you eat will not make you fat and so you will not vomit it….after drink a hot milk or a hot tea cause hot liquid will burn the food that you eat fastly…..try to make yourself busy of other things be active make sports or walk at least 15 minutes per day…i hope it will help you a lot and you can get over through it…..
Jim asks…
Anybody know WHY milk works so well for heartburn?
I only have heartburn infrequently, every few months or so, so it isn’t a huge problem for me, but when it happens, I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried Tums, Pepto, Zantac (sp?) and even a baking soda dissolved in water. However, the only thing that ever works for me is just a glass of milk. I find whole milk works better than low fat milk. My question is why does this work? What is it about milk that instantly cures my heartburn? Furthermore, why does whole milk work better. It must have something to do with the fat content, buy why? Anybody know?
By the way, I HATE drinking milk, and to me it is even more vile than the baking soda solution I have tried a few times, haha.
I appreciate your comment, herodyssey, but contrary to what you say, in my experience milk completely cures my heartburn every time and it does not return. The science behind your explanation may be right, but my experience has definitely shown otherwise.
Oh but herodyssey, I do like the website you linked to. Lots of good information there, so thanks for the link.
remedy answers:
My guess would be it’s a pH thing. Milks has a lower pH (it’s a base), which acts against the acidic nature of your stomach to lower the pH. Maybe the whole milk coats you stoach better because it is thicker, idk…

The joys of heartburn!! Any cures?
Just need a few tips for how to ease heartburn and indegestion.
I’m lactose intollerant and can’t drink milk also I don’t have any money (literally not a penny) for another fortnight so can’t get rennies or anything.
Any [free] ideas??
remedy answers:
Try laying down with a bunch of pillows so you are not completely on your back. Drink alot of water and if you can get a prescription from doctor so you can take zantac. Thats the only thing that helped me.
I HATE HEART BURN!!!
.lol.
