I m deciding if I should pay a trip to ER. Two days in a row I am having a real bad heartburn. Feels like something is stuck in my esophagus. Like when you take a big pill and you can feel it traveling down. This is in the middle of the chest and across my upper back. Sudden fatigue as well. But hard to tell from lyme, detox....or what?

I only had smoothies of plain yogurt and fresh fruits. One of them had one the content of pill of Florastor (this is a fructose based yeast probiotic). I am also drinking large amount of lemon water.
Could it been too much fruit based acid?

Can lyme detox cause this? Can the Buhner protocol cause this? I don't suffer from heartburn so I have hard time decoding this discomfort.
I had this pain before in the middle of the night months ago.

Bought alka-seltzer chews fast heartburn relief .....took them about 20 min ago. Nothing has changed.

Sorry artermix - that doesn't sound like fun.

I'd hold off on the alma-seltzer right now and instead, cut way back on the lemon water to see if you have some relief.

SOMETIMES, low digestive acid can also cause heart burn, as crazy as that sounds. It can be tough to know....

But I'd start with less lemon water and then see if that helps.

How much of the lemon water were you doing? People don't think about it, but it can cause such reactions. We just think it's harmless lemon water, but I found out that had to start slow.

Use a straw with the lemon water.

Easy quick relief of heartburn is 8 ounces of water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

The taste sucks so chug it down because it is salty tasting. Be quick!!

If you can't get the whole thing down, that is okay.

You will burp like a huge dude but aww the relief.

8 oz is 1 cup.

I think PeteZa meant 8 oz of water with 1 tsp of baking soda.

Thanks Girlie, fingers weren't as fast as my brain. LOL

I corrected it.

artermix - 8 ounces is as Girlie said, 1 cup.

Did you try it? It is has been used in my family through generations for years and saved us all a lot of money. It just can gag you unless you get used to the extremely quick results - then you learn it is the best thing in the world and you just get it down.

the baking soda will work within 15 minutes. After I drink it, I do not lay down. I will sit, but don't lay down.

Just glad you found some relief. That can be scary painful. Heartburn can mimic gall bladder problems and heart problems so it is good to get relief quickly and rule those out.

Lemon water often makes heartburn in my case. Stop with lemon water for a few days, to give your stomach a break.

Alkaseltzer regular in water. It helped. It took about 2 hrs. I recall it takes very long for stuff to be metabolized in my body. I think I will discontinue the lemon water.

You have been all so nice with the advices. I will save the Baking Soda for next time....


I'm glad it worked. If it happens again, listen to your inner voice and get to the e.r. Those were almost classic symptoms for heart attack (for women, and I don't know what sex you are).

Keep us updated after, if you decide to go. I can't tell you how many times I've ignored the very same symptoms because of the many times I have gone to the e.r. and they tell me nothing's wrong, or it's heartburn. (Or a fibromyalgia muscle spasm!) They used to just base their diagnosis on just guessing, because by the time I got there, it had eased up, and also because of my age. But now I'm 65 they would take me more seriously, I'm sure.


Hope it goes away soon, artermix.

i found that i had this same issue the last few days when i switched from that lemon juice concentrate in a lil bottle to straight organic lemon juice from the lemon. i put roughly 2+tblsp in a 16oz glass of water about 4 times throught the day and it caused an indigestion feeling and made my kidneys f'n burn n hurt plus the day after i unloaded much bowels and it was darker brown at the top than the rest like it started cleaning out my small intestine.and ut gave me a headache in the back of my head.
i stopped today and its finally easing up a lil.
i know trav talks about vit c in her gallbladder and liver cleanse and i aslo know vit c is used for purging metals. so what gives? i know i have a fast metabolism and digestion.
(sorry didnt want to start a new lemon thread)
