Continued from Heartburn. Treatments tips for heart burn

One type of heart burn treatment is the use of peppermint. Hard peppermint candies, peppermint schnapps, and peppermint tablets are often taken and used by those who are seeking relief from heart burn problems.

For the very worst cases of heart burn, stomach problems and acid reflux disorders, laparoscopic surgery can be an alternative, but not something that everyone should consider. This type of surgery is a last ditch effort to control the stomach acid and from the daily problems. Laparoscopic surgery involves putting a new piece on your esophagus to put a stop from the acid coming up and from the stomach. 

Another type of surgical ‘fix’ for heart burn, acid reflux and stomach disorders is a procedure called Stretta. This is a procedure that will involved the upper most portion of the stomach, and the lower portions of the esophagus to put an end to your heart burn and acid problems. 

Depending on your ability to control your heart burn problems, what you eat, and the amount of exercise you can get, your heart burn can be manageable. While not all people are going to experience the same types of heart burn or the effects of heart burn, there are alternatives such as herbal treatments, avoidance of eating certain foods, and habits such as not lying down after eating are going to help in your fight against heart burn.

Spicy foods and heartburn.....bullcrap!!!
Comments by: Rich G. from New Jersey, USA      Aug 20, 2008
I've been taking antacids for years. Most recently
Prilosec. I recently stopped taking Prilosec because I could not get it for the cheap price that I was getting it for. At about the same time, I started putting habanero sauce(or any kind of hot sauce)on just about a third of what I ate in a day. I suddenly do NOT need to take antacids. If I go a couple of days without eating any hot sauce on my foods, then I might need to take a Tums or such, but otherwise I think the hot from the peppers fools my stomach into not producing stomach acid, which I was suffering from. Not the heartburn but the acid in the stomach. I did not read your whole article, but all I know is that eating at least one meal a day with hot sauce all over it keeps me from getting that sour or acidic stomach which is awful, by the way!!
Thanks,
Rich
