Dishes high in fat and drinks with alcohol promote heartburn.

The unpleasant belching of stomach acid can be combated with home remedies.

Sumptuous food on the Christmas holidays and New Year's Eve, excessive barbecues or a cocktail tasting: all actions that result in heartburn for many people.

Not sure if you're affected?

The following symptoms are typical of heartburn:

  • Burning sensation radiating up from the upper abdomen or from behind the breastbone to the neck

  • burping

  • difficulties swallowing

  • burning in the throat

  • Bad taste in the mouth

  • Strong feeling of fullness

  • nausea and nausea

The cause behind heartburn: When the stomach is severely stretched, the seal at the entrance to the stomach can temporarily loosen.

As a result, air or stomach contents rise upwards.

The acidic gastric juice irritates the mucous membranes of the esophagus, which triggers the typical heartburn symptoms.

If gastric juice acts on the mucous membrane of the esophagus for a long time, it can become inflamed and painful, according to the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care.

Mustard not only tastes good with meat loaf and bratwurst: the food can have a soothing effect on heartburn.

Mario Kolar from the Darmstadt Clinic recommends the following home remedies:

  • Lukewarm, still water or herbal tea with chamomile, caraway or fennel:

    The stomach acid is diluted, which often alleviates the symptoms.

  • Sauerkraut:

    This has a neutralizing effect and can be drunk or eaten in the form of sauerkraut juice or pure.

  • Buttermilk or milk:

    The protein and fat contained bind the stomach acid, which can end the unpleasant burning sensation.

    when chewed small, the nut pulp is said to be able to bind stomach acid.

  • Potatoes, ripe bananas or whole grain products:

    These foods contain starch, which can bind excess stomach acid.

  • Oatmeal

    : For heartburn, simply chew oatmeal or boil it with water or milk to make an oat porridge.

    The starchy grain can absorb excess stomach acid well and due to the high mucilage content, the flakes act as a protective shield for the mucous membranes.
