Stop Taking Over-the-Counter Remedies
Unfortunately, though they might provide temporary relief, antacids often exacerbate the problem. Why? Because sometimes heartburn is caused by too little stomach acid, and lowering it just makes things worse. Skip those and any other pharmaceuticals you don’t absolutely have to take and try to address the problem naturally.

According toHealthline, there are a number of foods that offer immediate soothing benefits. These include leafyvegetables,fruits other thancitrus (which is acidic and therefore not that helpful),ginger (which you can take in tea form),oatmeal,egg whites, lean meats, and healthy fats such as “avocados,walnuts,flaxseed,olive oil,sesame oil, andsunflower oil.”
