Heart burn is a pain, no matter what I do I can't get off omeparazole completely =(. Down to every 3 days now

The only thing that's helped me when it's mild is apple cider vinegar. Others swear by baking soda and mustard

A lot of lifestyle changes can help too eg losing weight, quitting smoking(don't know if you do or don't), not wearing tight clothes and cutting down on caffeine

apple cider vinger lol....
Lol silly me I usually take about 2 tablespoons before food. I take it straight, but a lot of people like to mix it with water. Need to make sure you use the pure stuff though, it's the one that's cloudy at the bottom! Doesn't work for everyone, but when you get that horrible heart burn anythings worth a shot
