Do Nothing for a few hours, then see how you feel. Taking some kind of action isn’t always the best step. Your body knows what it is doing. It will straighten itself out.
Thanks,super advice,makes the most sense.
I just watched Victoria Boutenko’s dvds on “greens can save your life” and she had similar problems, it meant low stomach acid. She did a study and after doing green smoothies, just 1 quart a day, for 1 month, people with 0% stomach acid had 68% stomach acid and did not have heartburn, digested foods better, lost weight, etc. I believe it was called low hydrochloric acid??? I’d have to watch it again…
When I have heartburn, I swallow 1 Tablespoon of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar (with the Mother in it). Within 15 seconds (not minutes) it’s gone! Other apple cider vinegar will work, but I like the Bragg’s best. I discovered this when I was pregnant and had horrible heartburn. I was amazed with how it worked immediately! Make sure to brush your teeth right afterwards to avoid vinegar on tooth enamel. You can also put it in water with honey if you can’t down it straight.
Eating cucumber could help because it has a cooling effect. I hope you feel better..=)
Hi mham, Sorry to hear about the heartburn, I know it’s hell! As someone who has been in and out of the hosipital for days on end with this kind of stuff… I would say, that if something causes heartburn, then avoid it. I hate to be that way, but heartburn is the main reason im raw, because I can eat just about anything and feel fine. Thats how I work, if it causes heart burn, stay away, if it doesn’t, great! Juice on an empty stomach, especially high acidity juice, will cause heartburn for some. Oranges are something that I actually still have a really hard time with, also with the vinegar idea, All I have to say is that rawmama is a brave lady. I actually have to watch the apple cider vinegar because it can be too strong for my stomach and usually upsets it, but thats just me!
