Day 88 of 100 Day Raw Food Challenge: Pineapple Heartburn

[Titan5Omega]

I have had chronic heartburn since i was a kid and ive been taking nexium which is an ant-acid for several years now and ive never had heart burn since im on it.. but if i stop taking it everyday i get heart burn within a day or two. And this is no matter wat i eat or drink. BUt it really all depends on the cause of the heartburn. For me its genetic so an ant-acid is my only real choice

Pineapple - I think it depends on the amount, and how acidic each one is. I had a lot 2 days ago ( 3 meals of it in 6 hours). I STILL have chapped lips. Sore mouth lasted over a day.

So this tells us that pineapple is not so good to eat. When we listen to our bodies, we get healthier.

I may be to young to write (8 years old) but i'm so!! glad your making these videos!I'm convincing mom my to do it! I hope she says yes.

some heartburn is caused, ironically enough, by insufficient stomach acid

taking digestive enzymes with food could help a lot

Hi Beth I am from India and we get black licorice here which is wonderful remedy for heartburn. See if yo can find it in US somewhere on the internet. Drink lots of water like 15 to 20 glasses a day. Stay away from Coffee. Hope this helps.

you could try apple cider vinegar for heartburn...

i'm having a pineapple and sunflower greens smoothie as i watch this!

[shealways]

youv got great energy..good luck with your challenge

[lisacole690]

... from what i've read, drinking lots of water will help heartburn ... a good book to get at your library is "your body's many cries for water" ... the explanation for the water/heartburn connection makes a lot of sense ...

btw, you look great! ... i have some kind of detox (or pms) thing going on on my chin ... i look like the elephant man ... lol ... i'll be glad when it passes ...

[techleslie]

lol, I've got that too.

[icsomethingshiny]

I am so sorry you are suffering through this...it is horrible ..like a heart attack... You look GREAT !!!

[rayme4raw]

You're right about the pineapple. Lots of water never worked for me, try a tablespoon or two of baking soda in a glass of water, it gives me 2 to 2 1/2 hrs relief at a time. I've used it a lot since it is always available in my fridge.

Kirbycuke here,I am so excited for the challenge. thanks so much for organizing this.

I do hope you feel better soon, I know so many people who get a burning mouth after pineapple so I guess heartburn makes sense as well.Feel better soon.

[theenchantedkitty]

omg sorry for all the comments. I keep wanting to add. I am rawfoodkarma, just in case I am confusing with my 2 accounts on here...LOL.

[theenchantedkitty]

oh by the way, the natural remedies havent worked for me, so I HAVE to take zantac, the only little pill that works miracles for that. The dilution thing is a really good idea. Oh the chat thing would be great!

[theenchantedkitty]

omg, I thought it was just me. I cant eat pineapple without getting heartburn. Its weird because they say the enzymes are good for digestion...I dont know.

It sucks because It tastes so good, but NOPE, I realized I cant do pineapple! darn it. I am so glad that I signed up for the challenge. I dont feel so alone in it, now we have a place to go. Thanks so much Beth.
