Lying down exacerbates the heartburn does it not

had this for a solid couple months
ended up developing into a pretty big ulcer
got super sick, most sick i've ever been, and couldn't keep food nor water down for three solid days, with the ulcer and continued heartburn feeding the fire. was hell incarnate. when i drank water, in fifteen minutes i looked like picrelated.
Eat healthier. Not terribly fast-acting, but it'll start alleviating that shit quicker than otherwise. Eat less? dunno as to what in specific is causing yours, but that's my /adv/

wow sounds bad my dude, hope you are feeling better now.
I have been to docs, had blood test to check for a bug/ulcer and will be put onto antibiotics if it continues for next couple of weeks.

I wouldn't say I'm eating particularly unhealthy, get fruit/veg each day and variety of meat/fish, and I'm not a fat fuck.

So who knows what is causing it, I just want to sleep so bad though.

It may be a placebo, but a bitters drink like Underburg always settles my stomach nicely.

milk

List all the foods you eat regularly. Certain foods can trigger hearburn like caffeine, acidic food (citrus, tomato). Eating large meals/snacks less than 2 hours before going to bed can worsen it. You can try eating smaller portions of food more often during the day.

Btw omeprazole works best when taken 30 minutes before breakfast. Breakthrough heartburn I manage with maalox or tums.

I have a small box of Rennies that contains 36 small squares that you chew on, only downside is that they taste like chalk, i buy them from Aldi but im pretty sure you can get them from a local chemist/supermarket as well.

Works Every Time.

Regular foods daily include bananas, rice, apples, crisps etc. The meals thing is very true, I usually don't get dinner till 9 at night due to work, this is something I will have to work around.

However, the 30 minutes before breakfast , is this truly the best course of action if my heartburn only occurs when I am going to sleep at night?

I had taken 3 Rennies this morning with no effect before making this thread at 4am. They had little to no effect along with gaviscon, the omezaprole I took at 8pm and indigestion begin about 12am.

The food you listed should be pretty mild on the stomach.

And the reason for the 30 minutes thing is because you want to stop acid from being made. You actively secrete acid when eating a meal. Omeprazole should cover a person for a 24 hour period as long as they take it every day consistently, but it does take about 14 days to see if it had any effect. If not, go back to your doctor.

Rest in RIP your stomach lining.
