from Bella Online, the Voice of Women - Heartburn
"One of the best ways to avoid heartburn is to avoid eating a big meal.
Dumping too much food into your digestive tract is bound to create havoc.
Eating 4 to 6 small meals allows your digestive tract to work properly.
Especially bad is eating a high-fat meal. This causes the release of
cholecystokinin (CCK), a GI hormone that reduces esophageal sphincter
pressure and delays emptying of the stomach. This tends to increase
heartburn. "
If I am not mistaken, bf causes release of CCK???
If you can find this website it gives alot or practical advice, things that
help or hinder the heartburn.
