Heartburn fix??
I am loving the program and have lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. I am following everything on the program. Before I started the program I took Prilosec twice a day (for 2 years or more). Most of the time now I still feel like I "need" it about 7PM. Sometimes I just deal with the GERD and pain but sometimes I have to take it. What can I do to finally get rid of the heartburn and the Prilosec? I will follow whatever plan you give me. My husband says to take ACV (w/ mother) every day. Sometimes I will try it when the acid is bad in my chest but I think that seems to make it worse. Should I try ACV everyday twice a day or more or what do you suggest.
Thanks for your help - Love the program

Great! So glad to hear more natural alternatives are helping your health and how you feel.
Marcia,
Congratulations on your weight loss! That's wonderful.
The first approach to heartburn is cleaning up the diet, which can be done by following the Enlita program. Determine if there are any hidden food sensitivities which may be contributing (the program guides you through this). The heartburn may get better over time as a result of this alone! Consider keeping a food journal and see if you notice any correlation between certain foods and GERD symptoms.
Supportive therapies may include an anti-inflammatory such as the omega-3s found in krill or fish oil. Digestive enzymes and/or probiotics may also be indicated, depending on whether there are additional digestive issue symptoms present. Certain herbs can also be helpful, but start with the basics and see how your body responds.
Apple cider vinegar can indeed provide symptomatic relief for heartburn. It can either be taken before meals or as needed. Feel free to dilute it in a little bit of water if it burns.
Hope this helps! Keep up the good work on the program!

My heartburn has gotten much better as I have been on the program. I started taking a tsp or so of ACV with a tiny bit of honey and a good bit of water before EACH meal and this has been the biggest help.
