Do You Always Need Medication to Control Heartburn?
There are plenty of television ad that tell us that heartburn control can only be achieved y this or that company's product. Probably all of us have at least one friend or family member who expounds the wonders of the medication she or he is taking. But is it really true that only by taking medications, such as antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors, can you find relief from heartburn? While there is nothing wrong if medication is needed, we can also learn how to control heartburn without using medication.

Medications That May Cause Heartburn
While we most often think of certain foods as causing heartburn, there are also some medications that may cause heartburn. This is a result of relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), irritating the esophagus, or slowing stomach-emptying. Learn about which medication that may cause heartburn.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) does not close properly and stomach contents reflux back up into the esophagus.
