Flat lemonade for heartburn

[Cookie1979]

I've had a couple of different people tell me that flat lemonade works wonders on heartburn, so was wondering if anyone had tried it??? I was surprised by it, figured lemonade would be the last thing you would use for it. These people swear by it though. Apparently you have to let the fizz out of it completely.

I havent heard of that one, but I know almonds are suppose to help too

i've not heard of it, but hey anythings worth a try lol!

Yeh very true def worth a try, I think I have some almost flat lemonade at home, when I next have heartburn (which will be very soon no doubt) I will give it a bash, if it works I'll let you know!

 

[charli87]

yeah definitely let us know. i've been trying peppermint tea but it doesn't seem to be doing much. fizzy water seemed to help a bit though, but still water makes it worse

I have heard of flat lemonade for upset stomach but not for heartburn!! I have been suffering really bad with heartburn so will try it next time, might as well give it a go!!

I've heard of flat cola, but not lemonade!

Milk is good for heartburn.

When I have it, I will have a glass of milk and that seems to settle the heartburn xxx

Milk works for me sometimes, but to be honest seems to be very temporary.

Gaviscon is hideous and makes me feel sick, so I'm going to try flat lemonade, if it doesnt work I'll go back to milk.

Have a great tip for heartburn - Refreshers or Love Hearts sweets. I think because they contain sodium bicarbonate.

I'm suffering almost all the time with heartburn. Not as drastic as throwing up (which i've heard happens to a lot of people) - yet anyway! - but just really uncomfortable.

Wasn't very comfortable taking any of the pharmaceutical remedies such as rennies - wasn't sure what we were allowed and tbh find those things pretty unpleasant in themselves.

Heard this tip last week and haven't been out without a packet of love hearts in my bag since! Works pretty well!

Oooh good tip and I do like love hearts. Good excuse to have some sweeties. Will give it a go!

I suffer from major heartburn but cant take rennies/gaviscon as it makes me ill. The best things I have tried that help are ice cold milk and for instant relief...ice cream. Takes it away almost instantly, plus it comes in diff flavours so have plenty of choice

hope that helped x

i would have thought lemonade would be really bad for it. we have it at work and it tastes SO amazing. but then kills me after. but i haven't tried letting it sit out and drink it. i eat tums like they are candy even though i don't think they really help.

yeh this definitely works, add a spoonful of sugar to make it completely flat, mix and drink. i love the taste and helps with my heartburn
