A member asked:
If i have chronic heartburn, how can i treat it without using medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet modification: Try using bland food, spaced out so you eat 5-6 times per day rather than full meals 3 times per day. Drink plenty of fluids in between. You can add calcium based anti=acids like Tums in between. These are not medications. There are liquid forms of anti-acids as well in most drug stores.
