My own weird medical story: apparently I inherited my father’s issues with heartburn and acid reflux. We share an unusual heartburn trigger: sugary drinks. I can have just about any artificially sweetened beverage under the sun, regardless of how acidic it is, and be perfectly fine, and I have no problem with tomato products or many other acidic foods that give other people heartburn, but just about anything that contains both water and a lot of sugar makes my chest hurt something fierce.
I’ve only found two exceptions: orange juice is pretty safe for me, and Diet Minute Maid Lemonade is almost as bad as the non-diet stuff. (Minute Maid Lemonade gives me heartburn basically 100% of the time.)
Hm, I also inherited my father’s issues on this (though not the same triggers as you), and I was really hoping you were going to give me a random cure to try.
Well, although the triggers are unusual, I haven’t had any need to resort to unusual treatments to keep the heartburn itself under control; avoiding my triggers is generally enough, and I use antacids when it isn’t.
