Tips for Heartburn Relief - How To Get Rid of Heartburn

If you need heartburn relief then you've come to the right place. Here are the best tips and tricks to help with heartburn and indigestion, especially if you hate swallowing pills! I've partnered with Mirum for this sponsored post to tell you how to get rid of heartburn.

I will never forget the heartburn pain I experienced during my first pregnancy. My chest felt like it was on fire after eating and I felt like I was constantly taking over the counter antacids with very little heartburn relief. The chalkiness of those tabs was less than desirable and when my doctor finally suggested an oral tablet to help control the acid production in my stomach, I found swallowing the pills to be almost unbearable.

Thankfully, I only suffer from heartburn once and awhile now, but If you suffer from frequent heartburn then I've got some great tips so you can find some relief and get rid of heartburn.

 Tips for Heartburn Relief

1.) Try the brand new Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablet. This is the newest disintegrating/dissolving heartburn tablet on the market to treat frequent heartburn, so no more worrying about swallowing a pill when your chest and throat feel like they're on fire.

If you're familiar with Omeprazole already, you'll be glad to know that this new dissolving tablet works exactly like the Omeprazole currently available to provide lasting heartburn relief, up to 24 hours.

What I love about this new form of Omeprazole is the convenience it offers. No need to worry about having a bottle of water to take along or finding a water fountain. The tablet just dissolves right on your tongue and the strawberry flavor tastes great. So easy to keep in my bag for on-the-go use.

Another thing to love? The savings! I love buying store brands to save money. This new Omeprazole disintegrating tablet works just as well for me as Prilosec but it's so much more affordable. Just make sure you’re taking the full 14-day regimen, and follow the instructions on the box (Also don’t take more than the 14-day amount – ask your doctor first!). Go ahead and check out the savings for yourself! You'll see how much you'll save by purchasing Omeprazole instead of Prilosec.

2.) Eat smaller meals more frequently. Overeating at one sitting can be a trigger for heartburn. Try eating smaller meals throughout the day instead of just 2-3 large meals.

3.) Cut back on greasy and spicy foods. Foods that contain a lot of spice, fat, or grease trigger more acid production in your stomach. Cutting back on those types of food will help prevent heartburn. Acidic foods like tomato sauce, caffeine, citrus, chocolate, and sodas should also be limited.

4.) Quit smoking or drinking. Smoking and drinking alcohol can also trigger heartburn. Quitting these habits is not only good for preventing heartburn, it's also good for your heart.

5.) Lose those extra pounds. Being overweight puts you at risk for heartburn, so dropping some of that excess weight should help relieve heartburn. If you follow steps 1-3 above, you might just lose some weight anyway!

6.) Don't lie down after meals. This can be tough, especially if you eat a late dinner, but you should try to remain upright after you eat. If you can't, you should try to elevate the head of your bed if possible. Putting a few pillows or a foam wedge underneath your mattress might help to raise the head of your bed
