I was having chest pains and got them checkout... Everything normal so I went to a family doctor who believes the sphincter muscle at the bottom of the esophagus was weakening causing massive heartburn..
a way to try and heal that was to Greatly reduce or eliminate the following things from my diet (I may have forgotten a few)
Caffeine
Nicotine
chocolate
Tomato based products (high acid)
mints
Alcohol
there was more but I forget the rest. ^^^ I could not follow that diet very well hahahaha I tried though. (that is basically my diet lol)
I thought it might be the old acid reflux thing. Not a doctor, don't play one on t.v., but I've found all the over the counter crap causes more problems than it solves so I try to avoid them all except Pepto and any more I rarely have to use it. What I found helped scads was just getting a healthier gut, which I achieved through trying to avoid most processed foods and eating yogurt. My guts used to be a mess but now I can eat almost any spicy stuff I want and all kinds of acidic stuff and rarely have an issue. If you haven't tried daily yogurt give it a whirl. It can't hurt and after a month or so you might find your belly more resilient.
And I'm gonna pat myself on the back for avoiding the clear opening for a loose sphincter joke, cause heartburn ain't no joke.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
