As women, our bodies are remarkable. We produce and alter hormones in our body that help transform us into walking, talking incubators (like if Optimus Prime could create more Autobots & had a vagina). We can move our organs around (turn our hearts, even) to make room for our babies. And when the time comes, (and regardless of how scared poopless I may be that this time is coming) our bodies have the strength and power to push that baby out. A WHOLE FREAKIN' PERSON!!! Just right out of the na-na... if everything goes according to plan... and yet... with all of our remarkableness and astounding Transformer-rivaling abilities... have we not created a hormone that will prevent HEARTBURN?!?! I mean the ish is ridiculous! Its like Dante's 9th circle of hell is trying to break forth from my esophagus at any moment.
I've been told that it can be controlled by not eating acidic things, and drinking tea, and taking Tums, or drinking apple cider vinegar... and hell! I'll try anything short of sticking an icicle down my throat.... wait... yeah, no, I won't do that, but anything else, I will try. If you have a remedy that has worked for you, I'm willing to listen and try.
I've recently started making a small cup of warm milk with a tablespoon of honey, and a hint of chocolate *hehe* and so far it has kept the evening heartburn at bay. Its also freakin delicious!!!!
