You're Mothers Always Right


Something I have found is so common in everyone is heartburn. My mother has suffered from heartburn ever since she was a baby. She knows everything there is to know about heartburn. If I every have heartburn then I know exactly who to go to. It’s better to go to my mother than even to go and see a doctor I think. She knows every single way for how to get rid of heartburn.

Just recently my heartburn started getting really bad. The day it started, my mum was out and about so I went online to see what I could find that could instantly take away the pain. I found some pretty weird treatments like taking mustard. Mustard burns my throat so I don’t see how that can help! I also found some weird things I could do. I knew I couldn’t take any drugs to help me because my mum is against those. So instead I thought I’d just find the easiest one out there. This was just chewing gum. I had plenty of gum in the house so I started to chew on some. However I wanted to get rid of the pain straight away so this wasn’t working. So I went back on the Internet to find another one. Another good one was honey so I took a spoonful of that. It slightly soothed my heartburn for a moment but it was still there. After this I thought I might as well just wait for mum to get back.


About 2 hours later, the pain had subsided a little more but I still had this painful feeling in my chest. When mum got back she said 'Ok, this is how to get rid of heartburn at home' and she gave me this funny drink with lots of vegetables and funny enough a bit of mustard too. After I drank it I felt much better and that was that.

After that very long and painful day, I learnt about all the different ways to get rid of heartburn from mym mum. I think its only when you experience it yourself do you have any interest of learning how to get rid of it.

Another good thing I sometimes try is some baking soda with lemon juice. This is really good for you heartburn and can make you feel completely fine after you take it. Some more methods with lemon are explained here http://heartburn-acidreflux.com/heartburn-acid-reflux/lemon-juice-heartburn-remedy


If I ever get heartburn again that I will probably wait until I know what I’m doing before taking lots of random things on the Internet.  There are plenty more things I could try out but I think I know enough now to get rid of heartburn incase it comes along again. A few other crazy methods are explained here http://www.whattoexpect.com/forums/may-2011-babies/topic/the-crazy-cure-for-heartburn My friend came up to me the other day and asked me if I know what was good for heartburn and I just told him everything I knew. I also don’t eat huge meals anymore. I eat in small, but frequent amounts, which is better for your heartburn as you’re body doesn’t have produce so much stomach acid each meal.
