It just goes to show that the medicine you get over the counter is not always the best. In addition to the flax seeds there are many other natural remedies that can work wonders with heartburn and acid reflux.

A lot of vegans use flaxseed as a source of omega 3 fatty acids, which non-vegans could get from eating oily fish like salmon and sardines. It is a simple matter (in the United States) to find flaxseeds at health food stores, and to grind them into a powder in just a few seconds using a coffee grinder. I have often heard that consuming them freshly ground is better than buying a pre-ground powder as some of the beneficial constituents become lost over time (perhaps this is due to oxidation? I don’t know).

At any rate, I’m glad to hear the flaxseeds provided you some relief. Thank you for sharing the tip! I hear celery is another natural way to counter heartburn. Personally, I would choose a natural remedy over a pharmaceutical treatment any day, if one can be determined.

I would think that it would still help, but eating ground flax will give you all the benefits :)

I have to agree with you, I take my flax seed every night before going to bed, i even travel with it. Can’t live without it now, it really does work!

I found this at 2:45 am. Yes, I was up searching for more remedies because nothing was helping and I was in so much pain. Because of the hour I just mixed a spoonful in cold water and drank. Awful taste but it relieved the pain instantly!

Thank you for posting but most of all thank your mother!!

Nice! It’s actually somewhat awesome that I found your blog today by accident.

Theres like 5 entries that jumped at me are bringing new insight into questions I’ve had for a while.

Your writing style an opinions sound like my own (albeit scattered and disoriented) thoughts. I’m simply baffled this morning at how close this page is to my own “wavelength” of thought (albeit more complete).

Anyway, thanks for the tips :D
