    when you eat, make sure that the area around your mouth is not obstructed by any hirsute adornments

    that would be difficult!!

    Anyway i might not be able to shave my beard off now, as my boss keeps making sly comments sayin that he hates my beard! He said once, as we had a customer visit to come in trimmed up! Cheek! The most annoying thing is there is this sikh fellow here who is bro to the genral manager, and he has an even gianter beard than me, yet no one moans! I reckon it discrimination towards gingers, or gingerist if ya like! its not on! So i might have to grow it as scraggly and rotten just to pizz them orf!

    Also anyone see the program the other day called, 'F**k off i'm Ginger' ! now that was annoying!

    anyway how do you get heartburn if you eat slow, healthily, dont eat crap! i reckon i got a fuckedup oesophagus as it runs in the family

    If you wanna pm me I can give you a shed load of advice on what to eat and what to avoid. I've had it for about 10 years but I've learnt to handle it just by avoiding certain foods.

    doctor schmoctor, i went 10 year ago and he told me stop eating greasy food and i'll be ok, so i did and it was the same! i stopped all good (when i say good i really mean bad) food like egg butties and lard sandwiches and its no different! My bro the poster morts genius gets it, he dont smoke and never has!
    All i can say is that its a Ray Reardon!

    A freind of mine (millwall hoolie!) gets it, so he went his doctor (the poofter) and they did this thing where they shoved a camara down his throat, and he said after that it got worse! its wierd!

  • You need to take Acidophilus tablets from Holland & Barrett. They work wonders for me. I used to suffer all the time but I never get it anymore. Totally natural cure as well - no harmful chemicals.

    cool i will give them a bash cheers pete. you ok?
  • Good thanks Ollie. Start with 2 a day; 1 after breakfast & 1 after your evening meal. They work by releasing billions of good bacteria into your stomach, so your digestion is hugely improved. This then cuts down the amount of acid in your stomach, which causes heartburn when it escapes into your oesophagus.

    yeah see that sounds like it makes sense, thats why i take that zan tac stuff, it stops the production of to much acid! I will go to matt holland and barrett and get some! nice one dood

    Mint tea works well. Have a cup before bed and say goodbye to the burn.

    The good stuff over the counter is Zantac plus Gaviscon Advance (blocks sinks!) you can also purchase Zanprol which is given on prescription as Omeprazole..a rather good chemical. Zanprol though is a bit pricey, I would suggest that as your symptoms are not entirely relieved by Zantac etc. that you have a consultation with your GP

    Good luck

    Keep me updated, although it could be something to do with the stress of Charlton?
    You should be cured for the summer! (not unless you follow a crap cricket team!)

    Hi lats,

    i once used zanprol when it first become available at chemist without perscription, it was excellent i must say, if not a bit pricey! Your right re zantac, it works pretty ok, but not 100% all the time! i take one before i go to bed so i dont get woken up with heartburn!

    As an aside, i looked at the patient site, and it does sound like i have that acid reflux, that sounds the most like my pains!
