Ginger is believed to help reduce acid secretion so you can try sprinkling ginger in a glass of water or buy it in tea form.
Eating papayas may help relieve the pain because the tropical fruit has an enzyme that can neutralize stomach acid.
Another suggestion is mixing a half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into a glass of water and drink it.
Dr. Jennifer Christie says, “It’s counter-intuitive to think something acidic could decrease acid and decrease symptoms of heartburn. However, a number of people have tried it and found that it works, but the results are variable.”
Also make gravity work for you and sit upright or stand. This way the acid is more likely to stay in your stomach and not travel up your esophagus.
And stay away from carbonated drinks. All those bubbles can expand your stomach and make your heartburn worse.
