heartburn
JBR questioned:


Apparently the Nexium isn’t working too well today. I haven’t eaten anything really spicy or greasy, but I suddenly got dreadful heartburn. Would it hurt me to take some Maalox or Tums?

    You should be able to take a few tums just don’t over do it and if this becomes a regularly occurring problem don’t be worried to question your doctor to up your nexium.

    You can take papaya pills for your stomach problems. You can get them at any health food store. They taste really excellent & you just take 4 or 5 before you eat, (chew them up).

    Chew mint gum, or pop in a MINT altoid. Mint is a natural antacid- As is plain yogurt. Lastly, another really excellent remedy for tummy issues: Black Liccorice
