Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I take braggs apple cider vinegar daily, and I know there are other things I can take to avoid heartburn like papaya enzymes, etc. I wanted to know if there is any alternative supplement that will give the instant relief of heartburn like Tums does. Tums are not healthy to take, but they do give instant relief when needed. Any suggestion of something more natural to take that works right away is appreciated Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 According to the Peruvians, Sangre de Drago will do the trick. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 This isn't an instant fix, but if you take it regularly you may not need an instant fix - licorice root is dynamite for heartburn. I take 500 mg of DGL licorice 2 x a day - if you don't use DGL you may up your blood pressure. But your whole digestive tract loves this herb! Try it - in even a couple of days you should start to notice a difference. Thea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi Jean, How much Apple Cider Vinegar do you take? It will be 3 years next May since I started taking Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar and I have NOT taken any Tums since. I started taking two teaspoons with a little honey in a coffee cup of hot water 3 times a day. I now take a 1 tablespoon of Vinegar 3 times a day. I usually have some vinegar to sip while I'm eating. My ankles are no longer swollen and my cholesterol is down 20 points from 176 to 156. I swear by my apple cider vinegar and I purchase it by the gallon as it saves about 3 dollars. If interested Google Apple cider vinegar for more information of more benefits. Evelyn in Sunny Mesa, AZ ---- Jean 11/24/2007 3:12:38 PM Tums alternative?

I must admit that since I started, I've taken a lot less heartburn meds. But sometimes at night, usually if I wake up on my right side, I'll have heartburn and have to get up and take a couple of tums. I have to get up early for work 3:45 AM, and if I don't take the tums, sometimes I just can't fall back asleep. Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi Jean, I'm taking my last cup of hot water, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and a little honey sipped slowly. I always have a cup to sip while I'm eating. I used to buy those big bottles of Tums but I haven't had any in my house since May three years ago. Do you remember Jack Lalanne the exercise man. He is now over 90 years old. He started The bragg program when he was I think 15 years old. Three years ago I was really having trouble with swollen ankles. I had an appointment with my doctor and he said I might have take water pills but he didn't give me a prescription. That was when I started taking my apple cider vinegar. Two weeks later I again went to doctor and I said to him Look doc no swollen ankles. " He was very impressed and I was very happy I wouldn't have to take water pills.
