So here is my favourite smoothie recipe:

Chest pain due to heartburn is often confused with heart attack chest pain.
Below are typical symptoms of heart attack:
So if you have symptoms similar to ones listed above seek emergency help immediately.
Below are typical symptoms of heartburn:
It is usually believed that too much of swallowed air is the culprit behind excessive burping, but a new study conducted by researchers from Netherlands and Belgium and published in the latest issue of journal ‘Gut’ has challenged this age-old belief.Most people burp three or four times after a normal meal, but the people in this study burped an average 67 times an hour.
A total of 14 excessive burpers and 14 normal people ate a hamburger, fresh onions, chips and had a drink of orange juice, as part of the study.
The researchers then used a new method called intraluminal impedance monitoring, which involves inserting a tube down the oesophagus to record electrical activity.
However, they found no difference in the amount of air swallowed or the size of the air bubble in the stomach, but they confirmed two distinct types of burps.
The first kind was the result of gas from the stomach, or gastric belching. The second type, or supragastric belching, involved gas from the oesophagus that never made it down to the stomach.
The normal group only did gastric burps but the burpers did both, suggesting their belching was self-induced rather than the result of excess gas.
The researchers said, “Their repetitive and bothersome belches originate from a distinct belch pattern, characterised by air that does not reach the stomach.”
“We suspect that excessive belching is some kind of learned behaviour that is initially induced consciously. After a while, however, this control is lost,” they added.
Australian gastroenterologist Dr Katie Ellard said that the study confirmed that burping was behavioural, rather than indicating a serious medical problem.
“I will sometimes say to people you’re not allowed to burp; sometimes you just have to say ’stop it’,” Ellard said.

Acid reflux is a condition when your lower esophagus sphincter (LES) is not closing completely or relaxing more frequently than normal. This causes heartburn and burping.
There are couple simple methods to avoid burping too much:
Another cause for burping could be aerophagia. For more information on how to deal with it look at this aerophagia page
1. Acid Reflux And Apple Cider Vinegar
Q: Does Apple Cider Vinegar help heartburn?
A: Maybe. Some people swear by it. But there is no medicinal evidence that it helps. Read this article for more information about how Apple Cider Vinegar can help you.
So it worth a try.
2. Acid Reflux And Apples
Q: Does Apples help Heartburn?
A: Apples are acidic fruits so there is no clear evidence that they should help heartburn.
But several sources on internet claim that certain kinds of apple help acid reflux.
3. Acid Reflux And Burping
Q: Is burping caused by Acid Reflux?
A: It maybe. Though there are multiple other conditions like aerophagia which can cause burping.
Work with your doctor to discover exact reason for it. Try elimination diet.
4. Acid Reflux And Caffeine
Q: Does caffeine increases heartburn?
A: Yes. It is clinically proven that caffeine relaxes LES (lower esophageal sphincter) and causes heartburn.
So switch to decaff coffee or cocoa. Read this article about caffeine to know more about it.
5. Acid Reflux And Baking Soda
Q: Does baking soda helps heartburn?
A: Yes. Certainly baking soda and any of the previously mentioned neutralizing agents can be used to treat GERD. These medications are very safe to use in the recommended doses. However, stronger therapy is often needed because GERD is a chronic disorder and the symptoms tend to recur very frequently, often many times per day.
It looks like lots of people confuse what is Hiatus and what is Hiatal Hernia. Hiatus is translated from Latin as hole and in medicine it means a hole in diaphragm. When part of stomach moves through this hole it is called Hiatal Hernia (because it moves through Hiatus).
You can find much more information about Hiatus Hernia (oops… Hiatal Hernia!) at http://www.manageyourheartburn.com/hiatal-hernia-relief.php
I was always wondering how does very acidic drink can cure heartburn which is caused by acid and LES dysfunction? Usually vinegar supporters claim that it helps by increasing acidity in the stomach. But won’t it hurt inflamed esophagus? Isn’t drinking lemon juice going to give the same effect. It is just slightly more acidic then vinegar according to http://www.manageyourheartburn.com/foodhb.php…
Here is a quote from an article I recently posted on my web site at http://www.manageyourheartburn.com/articleview.php?ArticleID=13
“Claims of apple cider vinegar’s effectiveness are anecdotal at best. It’s rarely been tested methodically, the way a drug would be, simply because that kind of research is usually funded by pharmaceutical companies and apple cider vinegar isn’t a pharmaceutical product so of no interest to them. The companies that could benefit from it being proven effective don’t have the money to fund the kind of research required.”
“And there is the possibility that it actually does work for some people. As mentioned, different remedies work for different people when it comes to GERD. It’s hard to cite any one cure as THE best option in every case. The point is, don’t pin all your hopes on a folk remedy whose usefulness is anecdotal and unproven.”
So read it and decide for yourself…
