There was another cure she used to use which was bicarbonate of soda mixed with milk for her indigestion and heartburn..it was about half teaspoon of bicarb in half a cup of milk..this was an old remedy used in our grandmothers day...but it worked!......best wishes.....

Hi shari65160
Apparently our stomach releases a form of bicarbonate naturally...you can google 'bicarbonate and heartburn/indigestion..(i hope this reply will not be modified because of this info)....and lack of the bicarbonate causes indigestion and heartburn. Hope this helps....

You can also get sodium bicarbonate in tablet and capsule form.....

You may want to look into low stomach acid (hypochloridia). This is a common issue for acid reflux and indigestion.
If it is los stomach acid, you may want to look into what's causing it.
Cheers.

Can you buy raw and pure Aloe Vera juice at your local store or online and drink it when you have heartburn.
Drink luke warm water with lemon juice.
Alternatively see if buttermilk(1 part yogurt with 6 parts water and coriander/mint leaves) reduces your heartburn.

Mint/coriander should not be the primary ingredient but only as garnish in the buttermilk.
Milk of any form is far far worse than buttermilk. Buttermilk is the mildest form of any milk product. You make buttermilk by adding 6 parts water to greek yogurt. Usually coriander leaves are used for garnish only.
You can check ph levels yourself of what you drink. It should be highly alkaline to offset the high acidic state of gerd symptoms.
