Today I had 3oz of zucchini noodles and sugar free Pasta Sauce and man is my heart burn killing me! What is something you take for your heart burn? Or any natural home remedies would be great!

it's probably the tomatoes in the Pasta Sauce. I had issues with those the first few months (and still do, occasionally). I'd just start with some over-the-counter thing like Tums or some magnesium-based antacid. As far as home remedies, I know one person who swears by mixing a spoonful of baking soda in a class of Water and drinking that..

Yep, the acid in tomatoes can be a bit harsh to begin. Were you prescribed a PPI after surgery (Nexium or Prilosec, etc.)? Many are. Any over the counter antacids should work if the heart burn is mild. Otherwise just avoid tomatoes for a little while.

sometimes a couple of almonds can give you some relief.

Be careful with nuts. They’re often not allowed for a couple of months. Check your plan first.

I am prescribed Omeprazole for heart burn. Its available over the counter called prilosec... but a script is much cheaper
