Heartburn Relief Foods

Q.I've been doing great started back on LC 12/31/00 and I feel good except my dreaded heartburn seems to be coming back. Do you think it could be dairy? Can anyone here help me find out the suitable foods for the heartburn relief?

A.I'm gonna put my $.02 in here. I've had chronic heartburn and acid reflux for about 5 years. I've done the calcium tablets, h. pylori treatment, changed my diet, all sorts of things. I've pretty much been heartburn/reflux free for the past 2 months. What am I doing differently? I cut way back on eating. I eat way less now, and am suprised at how little I actually need to get by. I often get hungry, but not having heartburn is a beautiful thing. I cut way back on anything processed. You know, if you can't identify what you're looking at, it's processed. I eat lotsa chinese food and stuff where you can see what you are eating! Very little or no dairy. I've been a vegetarian (no animals, not even fish) for 2 years, but that didn't seem to help at all. I use my juicer a lot; there's some good juice recipees for stomache related problems. I always feel better after drinking fresh vegatable juice. I've lost weight. In the last 2 months I think I've dropped about 20 pounds. I dunno if this helps the heartburn relief, or if it's a side-effect of the new diet, but, hey, I lost 20 pounds!! (I've been taking some weight-loss pills that I bought on Ebay, and I think they actually work!) Oh yeah, I don't drink alcohol hardly ever any more. I recall my worst heartburn always occurred the night of and the following couple days after I drank. Now I just smoke a lot of weed (some say that has a calming effect on the stomache, I just do it to get high...), but, alas, weed makes me very hungry late at night! This is what I've changed in my life, and now I'm pretty near heartburn and reflux free. I dunno which factor helps the most, but I am so relieved to not have the pain anymore, I'm gonna stay this course a while. And one more thing, I am a lot happier and I think nicer when I'm not suffering in my stomache. And I think that also helps keep the stomache happy (I've always heard that stress is bad for your tummy, and what's more stressful than pain?) Again, I feel much better now, and I hope that I've found a way to keep the pain away for good. Because I hate that pain!!!
