On a romantic date night out to dinner, the last thing you want to worry about is your stomach. If you consume foods high in acid or you know you commonly get heartburn, here are a few natural and easy-to-make remedies that will sooth your stomach. 

Baking Soda Beverage

Baking soda has a high pH, which means that it is basic. Consuming a beverage that is basic will help to counteract and neutralize any excess acid in your stomach. All you have to do is mix about one teaspoon of baking soda with an 8 oz. glass of water, and you will create a remedy that doesn't taste bad and will help save your stomach.

Aloe Water

Aloe can be used in other ways besides the popular summertime sunburn soother! It can help calm your tummy in times of need. While this might not be the tastiest option, it can help your heartburn and benefit your overall health. Aloe helps to reduce inflammation, which is why it works so well on sunburned skin. It also, therefore, can help to reduce any inflammation in your stomach or esophagus, which is causing your heartburn. Aloe also works as a laxative, which can help solve other tummy problems that occur after a big meal. Aloe juice can be bought at any local grocery store, and half of a cup is recommended before your meal. 

Glutamine

Glutamine is an amino acid, which means that it is found in foods high in protein. Eating foods that contain glutamine can help to reduce the inflammation in your esophagus and to help prevent the acid in your stomach from wearing away at the muscle. Glutamine is common in foods such as fish, eggs, and spinach, and can also be found in pill-form as a supplement. 

Vinegar

Although vinegar is acidic, it can actually help to soothe heartburn and acid reflux. This works because the acid from the vinegar is less acidic than stomach acid, and it helps to raise the pH of the stomach. This helps the stomach digest more easily, and stops acid reflux from occurring. Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, for example, mixed with an 8 oz. glass of water can help prevent or alleviate acid reflux. 

Next time you suffer from heartburn or acid reflux, try one of these easy, inexpensive, and natural remedies to help combat the discomfort. If these remedies don't work, you may want to get a specific drug dosage. Learn more here about compounding pharmacies and how they can help you with acid reflux.
