Started to get a lot of heartburn a long time ago.
Had a lot of tests.
Told to cut out nearly all hydrogenated oils and lard (essentially the same thing).
Almost no heartburn anymore.
Cut back sodium (under 2200mg/day) and caffeine soda (about 1 can a week).
Almost no more headaches, and (with some regular exercise) lowered blood pressure, too.
And balanced meals. Plenty of water. Vitamin C and wash hands after doorknobs and money.
Those are the basics anyway. I'm still learning.
Best of wishes... ^v^

Common Sense and Good Health, for years now. "I'll mess you
up, hairball! Turn me loose! Your mangy butt is MINE, you hear?
Leggo! Leggo, I'm gonna kill him! They can't hold me forever,
litterbox-breath! If not me then my people! I'm looking at a
dead cat here!" Sodium, of course, is more a subtle attacker,
he likes to sneak up on me quietly. But turn a watchful eye on
him and he slinks off, muttering resentful things under his
breath...
