Heartburn is caused by enzymes and acids from the stomach that flow up into the esophagus. This can happen due to a weak lower esophageal muscle, among other causes. The best way to treat it is with antacid products that neutralize the acid and reduce discomfort. If heartburn symptoms are left untreated, more serious health concerns such as ulcers, inflammation, and precancerous conditions may develop.

Many people who suffer from heartburn choose over-the-counter or prescription medications to control their symptoms, however, most cases of heartburn can be easily treated with natural antacid foods and other natural supplements. Many prescription medications carry risks of side effects, so using natural methods whenever possible is crucial. It is important to discuss your heartburn symptoms with your doctor to ensure that you are not experiencing discomfort due to a more serious acid reflux condition. For those with periodic bouts of moderate heartburn, easy relief is possible by using a variety of natural options.

The most promising natural antacid supplements include: 

• calcium carbonate
• chelated potassium
• chelated magnesium
• baking soda

All of these treatments work rapidly and produce no side effects. They work by combining with the stomach acid to create an alkalizing effect. Many people have found long-term relief of heartburn by taking all of these supplements together between meals.

Some herbs have shown potential in the treatment of heartburn symptoms. Ginger has been successfully used to treat a number of digestive issues throughout history. Drinking a ginger ale with a meal can help improve digestion and reduce the concentration of stomach acid. Make sure the ginger ale contains natural ginger. Fresh ginger and ginger extract are effective as well.

Increasing the amount of fiber in the diet, both soluble and insoluble, has been helpful for many people suffering from heartburn symptoms. High-fiber foods include whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and beans. Fiber supplements are also a good option for those who find it difficult to consume enough fiber naturally.

Certain fresh vegetable and fruit juices are very powerful in reducing stomach acid. Fresh cabbage, celery, and potato juice are best. Avoid acidic juices such as anything containing tomato or citrus. Apple cider vinegar is also a helpful supplement. Dilute one tablespoon in a glass of water and ingest with a meal or snack. Aloe Vera juice has been proven to relieve many stomach problems by coating the lining of the esophagus and stomach while neutralizing acid.

Bananas are known to have natural antacid properties due to their high potassium content. Try eating a banana a day to keep your symptoms under control. People who are taking potassium supplements should consult their physician before eating large amounts of bananas. Apples, avocados, and grapes are also helpful in alleviating discomfort and improving digestion.

Yogurt is another great antacid food, especially for those that experience discomfort while sleeping. Eat a few ounces of yogurt about an hour before bed. The yogurt’s live probiotic cultures strengthen the digestive system and help break down food more completely.

Milk and ice cream have natural antacid properties. A glass of milk or small bowl of ice cream about an hour before bed has improved symptoms for many people. Dairy products can cool the esophagus and soothe the stomach. Be careful about what flavor of ice cream you choose. Plain flavors like vanilla are best. Avoid chocolate and mint-based flavors. Individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid dairy as it can cause further discomfort.

Anybody suffering from heartburn should avoid acidic foods and juices such as mint, citrus, peppers, and tomatoes. Consume caffeine only sparingly, and avoid cola drinks and coffee whenever possible. Natural antacid foods and supplements can help the majority of heartburn patients relieve their discomfort for the long term. Other natural ways to reduce heartburn include sleeping at a slight incline, drinking a glass of water at bedtime to dilute stomach acid, and not eating or exercising at least two hours before sleep.

It is important to consult an experienced health care professional before deciding on a course of treatment for moderate heartburn. If you are already taking prescription medications to control your symptoms, never use any natural remedy in conjunction with or as a replacement for your prescription without approval from your doctor.

Did you know gastric diseases like acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease are completely preventable, reversible and curable?

A problem like gastric reflux disease can’t be healed if you don’t know what it is. Even if there already is a natural cure for it you will still have the problem simply because you don’t know there’s already is a cure.

The real problem with gastrointestinal problems like gastritis reflux disease is the problem of science versus medicine.

Conventional or Westernized medicine claims ONLY pharmaceuticals can prevent, treat or cure gastric reflux disease and if they don’t have a drug for it yet, then, according to them, nothing else can help until they make one.

This contradicts science to the core.

The solution isn’t recognized only because the real problem isn?t recognized.

There is no Eastern or Western medicine, there is just the stubborn refusal to admit that the body/mind and its elaborate healing system is far more complete than any pharmacy could ever be.

Gastric reflux disease is an inflammatory dis-ease . . . it is a symptom of your body’s powerful healing system trying to cope with the alien environment being dumped into it.

Science has proven that all dis-ease has a cause and by removing the cause the dis-ease is eliminated. Medicine insists that drugs should be used to chemically interfere with the symptoms . . . treating only the effects.

This tells me the druggists that are practicing medicine simply don’t know what the problem is . . .

Ignore your gastric reflux disease and you’ll end up taking more powerful drugs that may lead you right to the surgeons table. This is called taking a bad situation and making it worse.

Science simply uses the law of cause and effect. It recognizes the solution already exists, because the body/mind already knows how to restore balance.

Your body /mind will teach this you if you learn to listen . . .

Great health is much more than being drugged to the point that you’re symptoms free. Great health comes from learning to listen and respond to your body/mind signals and symptoms with a helping hand . . .

Your gastric reflux disease is NOT a drug deficiency.

Medicine tends to practice keeping the problem and the solution separated. There seems to be a different solution for every problem, yet upon closer inspection you can see accepting the science of harmony, unity and interrelatedness many effects can arise from a single cause.

The science of healing your gastric reflux disease isn’t concerned about treating the effects . . . only removing the cause.

There are specific erosive things that can cause you to have inflammation, swelling and irritation of your esophagus (throat).

The most common erosive thing that can cause esophagitis is acid reflux. Acid reflux is the main cause of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is like heart burn on steroids!

The erosive nature of digestive acids does severe damage to your more sensitive throat (esophagus) lining. Esophagitis is one of the first symptoms that can lead to throat cancer.

If the cause of your acid reflux isn’t discovered the damage to your esophagus will eventually cause a mutation in your throat cells.

That’s correct; your throat cells will actually mutate to become more like your stomach cells.

This is an amazing feat of self preservation by your body/mind’s own automatic healing process. Hopefully you find a natural remedy for your erosive esophagitis before it gets that bad.

The trick to healing erosive esophagitis is to remove the cause of the inflammation, which in most cases is from your acid reflux.

Here are 5 things that can also trigger the symptoms of erosive esophagitis such as:

1. Pharmaceuticals

2. Vomiting

3. Herpes

4. Candida

5. Immune imbalance

You should suspect you have erosive esophagitis if you have difficulty swallowing or feel pain in your throat. If something was stuck in your throat you can expect the same symptoms of erosive esophagitis to develop. So if you take a lot of pills make sure you help them go down with some water.

If you have blood in your vomit you need to see a doctor immediately. Even if your stools are dark or tar-like you most likely have blood in your stools from the erosive esophagitis. In either case see a doctor immediately.

Some of the procedures doctors use to find out if you suffer from erosive esophagitis are:

• Endoscopy: Using a camera to directlt view inside your esophagus
• Biopsy: Cutting out a sample of your esophagus tissue.
• Culture: Taking a sample with a swab, without cutting your esophagus
• Barium X-Rays: Using a radioactive dye that enhanced the X-Ray photos.

Depending how bad your erosive esophagitis is determines how doctors will treat your symptoms. It’s not unusual for them to use Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), antibiotics, steroids and pain medication.

Always look into discovering the cause of your erosive esophagitis, don’t just treat the symptoms . . . eliminate the cause and your throat will heal naturally given time.
