Oh Joy, I'm up with heartburn

[Ellen Forradalom]

Please make the invisible little demons stop stabbing me.

[Oeditpus Rex]

1. Got any Alka-Seltzer?

Burp that bubble right outa there.

If not, a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass o' water might do it.

[Ellen Forradalom]

4. I took a Pepcid AC chewable

that combines the antacid with the active ingredient in Pepcid..no go, though.

I'm on a medication long-term that just rips up your stomach.

[Hissyspit]

35. Pepcid Complete is the only thing that works for me. I think I'm about

to move on to Nexium.

[TheGunslinger]

2. I find eating some White Castles with a Diet Coke followed w/lasagna helps

Oh wait...



n/m






There was something on the news not too terribly long ago about one of the causes of late-night heartburn being people drinking carbonated beverages before going to bed.

Hope you have some Rolaids or something.

[Ellen Forradalom]

5. No carbonated beverages here

The only carbonated beverage I drink is mineral water.

Tonight's dinner was a little hard on the stomach, though. Spicy, and had tomatoes. Probably won't make that again.

[TheGunslinger]

7. Italian food gets me...esp. the tomato-based sauces.

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. Yes, I'm gonna have to be more careful

as with so many other things, now.

[Heidi]

3. Do you have any baking soda?

On the rare occasion when I have heartburn, a half-teaspoon of baking soda suspended in 8 ounces of water prompts the most heavenly and cathartic burp on earth. No joke. :thumbsup:

[Ellen Forradalom]

6. I'll give it a try

Can't hurt.

[Heidi]

12. One cautionary point:

The resulting burp may wake up sleeping neighbors. And be sure to use baking _soda_ , NOT baking _powder_. We'll expect a full report, Ellen. :thumbsup:

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. I know the difference between the two

I bake a lot. I made cornbread mix tonight because I put cornbread on the menu twice this week.

Let me dash off to the kitchen right now.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Hey!

I already said that.

[Ellen Forradalom]

18. You are duly acknowledged.

I read yours first, if it makes you feel better.

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. It's okay, Ellen

It's Mistress Heidi who stepped on me. x(

Thought she was my friend, too...

[Heidi]

21. Null.

We have once again canceled one another out. :cry: Ellen's prolly gonna have a biggo belch. Seek shelter immediately.

[RevCheesehead]

8. Acid reflux?

Or menu mistake?

Either way, sorry to hear it.

[Ellen Forradalom]

9. Meds

that rip up your stomach like a construction crew rips up a highway.

[TheGunslinger]

11. Like the ones that created that pothole for Ahnuld to fill?

;)

[Ellen Forradalom]

16. Ahnuld is way too much of a girlie-man

to handle this case this heartburn.

[TheGunslinger]

22. The True Lies of that Kindergarten Cop go Jingle All The Way

until the End of Days.

[RevCheesehead]

13. Ugh.

Would a gently-warmed glass of milk help you?
(warmed as in just enough to take the chill out)

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. Is milk ok for heartburn?

Sure, you can bring me one, sweetie.

[RevCheesehead]

19. I know a lot of meds will sometimes say "may be taken with milk."

Stuff like tylenol or ibuprofin will burn, sometimes - especially in higher doses. Be sure to check your prescription bottles, to make sure there's not a "Do NOT" label on it.

Feel better soon!
:hug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

20. Burp

There may be a ray of hope here.

[Heidi]

23. Good one, EF!

:thumbsup:

[Ellen Forradalom]

27. Farts, too

It's coming out all orifices. Seek cover.

[Ellen Forradalom]

30. Ouch!

The demons do not give up readily!

[Heidi]

31. When the gale-force winds have passed,

treat yourself to a cigarette. :rofl:

[Ellen Forradalom]

33. I hear the Santa Anas are blowing

in California.

[Ellen Forradalom]

28. edit

accidental double post

[LSK]

[Ellen Forradalom]

26. Breakfast

Lunch (late): Turkey and american cheese on whole grain bread with mustard; apple; milk.

29. I'm up with...insomnia.

Last night I was up with heartburn. I had Hardee's for lunch and a lot of pop.

[Ellen Forradalom]

32. Ooooo, rough

Hardee's, man. That's begging for punishment.

[Ellen Forradalom]

34. Ok everyone, back to bed

if you find me posting later, the cure didn't work.

But I'm feeling better now. Thanks!

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. Just thoughta somethin'

Would the Heimlich Maneuver work on heartburn? :shrug:
