Is it unusual to have heartburn every day??

If so what can I do about it as it is getting on my nerves now...

Are you a few pounds over your ideal weight? Sometimes that can cause heartburn no matter what you eat.

If it's any consolation that's the reason I get heartburn on an almost daily basis biggrin.gif

What do you take for it - I have found that Asda own make tablets are the best for me but really think I should do something about it.

A glass of milk works wonders for heart burn.

Only on a symptomatic basis, and only temporarily. The fat and protein content will eventually make it worse as the stomach begins to produce acid to deal with them.

Calcium carbonate (antacids) or suspensions such as Gaviscon work best.

Nothing normally. I don't like taking medicine.

I hate milk with a passion so I know that my heartburn is really bad if I take a swig of milk :green

Someone mentioned I may have reflux - is that a possibility?

Yes.

Re: milk, it's only ever worked for me, never once has it come back or made it worse. I must just be lucky then. smile.gif

Should have been more specific in my question - what is reflux, is it treatable and will it go away?
