A Natural Heartburn Remedy
My husband has struggled with heartburn ever since I have known him. He would pop over the counter antacid pills like they were candy in the early years. Later, while we were in the Army, he would get some prescription antacid’s that were a little heavier duty, but still he would have problems with awaking suddenly in the night with a sudden onset of heartburn. In fact, it seemed that the more over the counter antacids he would take, the worse he would have the heartburn.
That’s when I found out that a company called American Health makes a Papaya Enzyme
chewable pill. I ordered it and he skeptically tried it. He was more than willing to give it a try, but I think he had some doubts that it would actually work. Admittedly, I did, too. But, amazingly enough, he immediately noticed the results! It helped him just like his over the counter antacids would. Great news! But listen to this: It actually helped to improve his overall condition! The more he relied on the papaya enzyme, the less he needed anything to treat it. He used to take antacids multiple times a day, now he takes it maybe once or twice a week, if that.
Also, for those expectant mothers out there, this is completely safe to take during pregnancy!
Now, I know I sounded a bit like an infomercial, but I’m only sharing this because it is something that has seriously helped our family and I hope that it can help someone else out there!

2 tsp apple cider vinegar with 8 oz water taken every morning has cured my hubby of heartburn. The papaya worries me because isn't the majority of it genetically modified? I would have to look into that. It is a shame how the food companies have ruined real food!

I'm not sure about it being genetically modified. I'm glad to know about the apple cider vinegar trick though. I'll mention it to hubby, too!

So weird…my mom just gave us a bottle of papaya enzyme and I had no idea what it was for. Thank you for educating me so that I might actually use that bottle!!
Shari says
I have a problem with this too. I had no idea that these would work. Thanks for sharing this.

You're welcome Lisa, I hope you like it!

No, he doesn't take them after every meal. He just takes them as needed. And he often takes more than just 3 when he does need them. He often goes several days between taking them.
Sidetracked Sarah says
oh wow, I hadn't heard about the gluten or dairy intolerance possibility. It's hard for men to think about changing their diet so strictly I think!
Kathy says
I would love to try this as well. I see from the product link you take 3 after meals. Does your husband take three after every meal??

My hubby suffers from this – he doesn't believe me when I tell him that severe heartburn is also indicative of gluten intolerance and even dairy intolerance for some. He's been known to drink baking soda mixed with water and he's now getting Prevacid for free from our insurance carrier – I'd love for him to try this, something natural and better than ingesting baking soda or medication.
