Taking Apple Cider Vinegar For Severe Heart Burn. Natural Remedies?
Hi! :)
I'm a 34 year old female having severe heartburn. For the past couple of months I have been taking apple cidar vinegar to help regulate heavy menses. While my PMS symptoms have improved and having lighter periods, I am now suffering with raw burning stomach pain. I drink raw milk and have resorted to taking tums, the pain returns after a couple of hours. Note: I have ceased the ACV for now!
Is there something natural I can take to ease my stomach pain while the lining in my stomach recovers?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
You have acidity/reflux related issues.
Medications like ranitidine and omeprazole are very effective in providing relief and these are very safe.
But since you have specifically asked for natural remedy - do the follow things.
1. Avoid citrus, coffee, chocolate, fatty food, spicy food, onion, tomato
2. Eat smaller frequent meals
3. Go to bed at least 2-3 hours after food.
4. Avoid tight fitting clothes.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards
Dr.Ratnakar Kini
