- Chew gum. Look for a brand that contains sodium bicarbonate, a known stomach settler. Chewing gum also stimulates saliva that neutralizes acid.
- Say 'ello to aloe. Aloe vera juice (not the gel, which is for external use only) can take the burn out of heartburn by coating the esophagus and keeping stomach acid where it belongs. Drink 1/2 cup after you've finished eating.
- Try papaya. To reduce acid reflux and soothe indigestion and gassiness, drink a cup of papaya juice laced with 1 teaspoon of organic sugar. Toss in two pinches of cardamom as well--it aids digestion and reduces gas and cramping.
