How to get rid of heartburn..?

Q.How to get rid of heartburn..? I've recently had alot of heartburn and I don't know what I'm allowed to take to get rid of it. I've heard that you can chew mint gum and it will take care of it. Suggestions.

A.If you find you are having heartburn after eating, you may want to drink a glass of milk before eating. the lactose in the milk will line the stomach and help heartburn from ever starting. If you find you are having heartburn even if you havn't eaten then taking an antacid will not help much. The problem is the stomach is raising the acid levels because your stomach is empty, this causes the acidic fumes to travel up the asophogas causing heart burn. To stop the stomach from making this acid take a teaspoon of vinigar. The acidity in the vinigar will trick the stomach into thinking it has enough acid in it, and thus stop producing acid and the acid fumes that travil up. I had the most awful heartburn during both of my pregnancies. I used liquid Mylanta that I kept in the refrigerator. I thought this was better than the chewables because it seemed to coat and sooth more, especially when I kept in the refrigerator. Also try sleeping while propped up to help prevent the reflux. I spent the 2 months sleeping on the couch when I had my daughter. My doctor ended up inducing me because I was overdue and my body would not go into labor out of exhaustion from lack of sleep. I also liked mint gum during the day. I am sure there is no scientific reasoning behind this, but I drank carbonated beverages (carbonated water or caffeine free pop) that would make me burp and that seemed to give some relief. Gross, I know, but it made me feel better.
