I am a 46 year old hispanic that has frequent, heartburn every time i eat. love spicy food, what medication do you recommend. tums (calcium carbonate) no good.or zentac.

Heartburn: You can eat psicy but you have to avoid greasy food, so you have to avoid fried food, greasy food, eat small frequent meals not large meals, don't eat too late before going to bed, and if you smoke, stop smoking. If you have some diet modifications and lose some weight you will still be able to enjoy your spicy food.

Heartburn: You can try to use a proton pump inhibitor, such as Prilosec (P), to see if that relieves your symptom of heartburn. Eating healthy foods and dieting to lose weight never hurt anyone and P should solve your problem. Speak to your physician (P) about your symptoms and get your P's approval. Good luck
